Mutton Soup: More Adventures of Johnny Mutton

James Proimos. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt P, $16 (42pp) ISBN 978-0-15-216772-1

In the plucky sheep's third comic-strip-style outing, Mutton Soup: More Adventures of Johnny Mutton by James Proimos, Johnny tries to learn some table manners, attempts a world record in sitting and overcomes a personal paranoia (""Old people are scary! Old people are scary!""). The book's white and red jacket even resembles the label from a popular brand of soup.
