Grumpy, but loveable sheep, Derek, is always looking for the greener grass in life, but he is constantly thwarted in his plans by the other meddlesome (and tiresome!) animals on his crazy farm!

The second book in the series ratchets up the craziness, with the introduction of a menagerie of new characters, including the bully Big Baz, his mate Mad Nigel, Derek’s sister and nephew and a whole zoo-full of bonkers beasts.

Never before reprinted, these stories represent Derek the Sheep at the height of his popular run in the Beano and will be savoured by old fans and new.
