Derek is a bizarre sheep, 12 years old in dog years, loves the colour green and eating grass, hotdogs and cheese spread sandwiches. And he is daft as a brush.Derek is a bizarre sheep, 12 years old in dog years, loves the colour green and eating grass, hotdogs and cheese spread sandwiches. And he is daft as a brush. He has a friend Lenny and numerous acquaintances including Cecil the bee, and they have some amazing adventures that will have you in tears of laughter.

Written in graphic novel style, the thirteen stories are brilliant snapshots of ordinary feelings and behaviours that somehow go wrong for Derek.

Originally a regular feature in The Beano comic, this collection will have the most reluctant of readers clamouring for more. Very suitable for all ages. These stories are just brilliant.
