Product Description

Review
`Daft style of humour will definitely appeal to older children, and pictures and stories will grip younger ones too'
--Junior Education Plus

Product Description
A day in the life of Derek the Sheep is no forage in the field. Oh no. It's flippin' hard work, what with all those other pesky animals on the farm! Wherever Derek might be or whatever he might be up to, you can be sure there's something for him to get his wool in a twist about. But the cantankerous Derek is also not one to miss an opportunity - especially if it means more juicy grass - and brought here are a collection of some of Derek's most heroically daft adventures to be enjoyed time and again by one and all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid entertainment, 25 Sep 2008
By ROBK "ROBK" (The Grey Land) - See all my reviews
I first encountered Derek in The Beano. I began asking my kids if Derek was in, every time they got a copy. He wasn't in every week and it became a rare treat. I detected a humour which worked on a few levels beyond that of a children's cartoon strip. It appealed to me massively. Derek is the work of a craftsman. Gary Northfield (the writer / illustrator) makes the 'adventures' wholesome for anyone, by injecting great sublime humour, social satire and a genuine endearment for Derek and his other supporting characters. All are fleshed out perfectly in daft innocent tales of rural life that are a real joy to read. Ideal for children and adults alike.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome but nuts, 16 April 2009
A great collection of work... suitably nutty and irreverent. Great for kids but a worthy piece for childish adults. I love Gary's colours and free, bustling line work. A really well produced funny book that gives Shaun the Sheep a run for his money...

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious stuff, 9 Sep 2008
By A. P. BENT - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This is a fantastic collection of Derek the Sheep comic strips from the Beano. Derek was about long before Shaun the Sheep made the big time - an incredible injustice!
Gary Northfields images and sense of humour in these tales are second to none and the imaginative stories make you laugh more with every read.
I hope to see more from this amazing author - great stuff.

This book is the funniest thing ever! Gary Northfield is a brilliant storyteller, does a gag-a-minute and has a lovely, loose way of drawing that makes everything look lovely and... Read more
