Eduardo Guadardo, Elite Sheep
By Anthony Pearson
Illustrated by Jennifer E. Morris
Two Lions, 2018. Picture Book.
Have you ever wondered what FBI stands for? And noānot the FBI that is part of the US Governmentāthe FBI that is part of Fairy-Tale Land. Well, it stands for āFairy-Tale Bureau of Investigationsā and is an important part of Fairytales. Anyway, the gist of this story is that Eduardo Guadardo is graduating from the FBI and is going to become an āElite Sheep.ā He is going to be given a ādossierā (top-secret file of information) on a specific assignmentāone Mary Sawyer who is in trouble. And Eduardo needs to save her! (Even if it means that he must follow her all overā¦including to school one day, which was against the rules.) Basically this is a funny spoof on how fairytales might be part of top-secret investigations (and have to go undercover in especially cute ways). Plus there is a bonus bit that encourages people to be a team player. All in all this is one clever picture book.
