Gilda the Giant Sheep Summary

Gilda the Giant Sheep by Emilio Urberuaga

Humorous illustrations in bright colors showcase an ewe with a big personality and an even bigger heart. ~Foreword Reviews You may have heard of King Kong, but you have yet to hear of Gilda, the giant sheep! Accompany her as she escapes from the shepherds into the city. Gilda will try to find a new home for herself, but what place can a giant sheep call home? A tale full of tenderness with an endearing message: no matter who you are, you can find a home in the world. Written and illustrated by Emilio Urberuaga, Spanish National Illustration Prize Winner.

Gilda the Giant Sheep Reviews

An oversized presentation makes the fun drawings in Emiio Urberuaga's Gilda the Giant Sheep come alive as they embellish a simple tale of a giant sheep who requires twenty shepherds to help her. Good reading skills or parental read-aloud assistance will lend to this fun story of a sheep who makes the most of her size. ~Midwest Book Review
Illustrations are in the tradition of Steinberg and Sempe, the characters captured in economical, expressive ink lines, with washed skies in various shades of blue and rose. Gilda's misfit status (I'm completely useless) makes her final triumph more satisfying; there's a place for everyone, Urberuaga argues-one just needs to find it. A Spanish edition will publish simultaneously. ~Publishers Weekly
Well worth discussing among primary grade students because of its topics which are rarely seen in picture books. - School Library Journal
The translated English edition is just as delightful as the Spanish version. A book to be shared, savored, and discussed. ~Kirkus Reviews
Humorous illustrations in bright colors showcase an ewe with a big personality and an even bigger heart. - Foreword Reviews
