Illustration: How Pete Tried Tricking the Sheep

It was super fun to figure out how I’d illustrate Pete trying to trick the sheep. As I worked on the page, I thought about how a child Pete’s age would do it. What supplies would they have on hand? I don’t remember what other ideas I thought of before deciding to make a fake Pete, but I smiled and laughed a lot throughout the process.

It was exciting to imagine sharing the process with students–having them make fake versions of themselves–and even having a remote-controlled Jeep that they could drive their creation in (with adult supervision, of course :-)).

If YOU were going to try and trick the sheep, how would you do it? I’d love to hear your ideas and to see any illustrations you come up with.

Happy creating, Bernice
