From the award winning DK picture book series, comes the wonderful farm adventure of Agnes and the naughty sheep.

Down on the farm there is trouble brewing... Fern, Flax, and Baa Baa have spotted the brightest, greenest plants they have ever seen. If there is one thing that the sheep love more than their pasture, it's plants. But these plants aren't on the farm, they are inside the huge, warm, cosy cottage. The sheep have always wondered what it would be like inside the house and with the family gone for the day NOW is their chance to find out! Left in charge of the cottage, will Agnes, the Great Dane, be able to keep these mischievous sheep out of trouble?

Elle Rowley, the Founder of Solly Baby, brings laughter and charm to this true story about how comparing yourself to others won't bring happiness after all, and besides, we all know that the grass isn't always greener on the other side.
