🐑If there's one secret to happiness in my life, it's taking care of the kindest creatures on earth: sheep! I want you to meet my flock. I keep them well-fed, well-groomed, and each day I read out loud to them: mysteries, whodunnits. I like to pretend that they follow along, but they're only sheep.

Bring the whole flock! Don’t miss out on this new animal adventure- The Sheep Detectives is playing this month!

🎬Every night a shepherd reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand. When he is found dead, the sheep realize at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it.
