|  | Bridget and the Muttonheads by Kjersti Board, Pija Lindenbaum Bridget is staying in a hotel with her parents, and it's boring. There's no sandbox like the one at daycare, and there are no other children--only grownups talking gibberish, walking about in bathing suits, and making giant splashes in the pool. Bridget doesn't like swimming and decides to go exploring. Behind the hotel there is a beach and a tiny island, where she discovers five small sheep in dire need of a little care. They are overheated and very hungry. Bridget helps them cool down, but will she be able to teach them to swim across the bay to find food? Of course!
