"Wry humor emanates from scenes depicting sheep posturing in a wide variety of human clothing and situations. Four distinct personalities suit up to sit at the diner counter, don T-shirts and overalls to decorate a sophisticated apartment, and appear in argyle sweaters to bowl with seniors. This quiet story of a wool blend would make an interesting contrast to a picture-book version of The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse".
— School Library Journal

"Luminous paintings add a wry humour to the scenes of four distinct breeds of sheep trying to be like people, donning striped coats, boaters, and mustaches for their big moment on stage."
— North Bay Nugget

"Leslie Elizabeth Watts creates an imaginative and humorous, yet poignant story about the pain of not being accepted. This story will resonate with both children and adults, especially those who somehow feel that they are outsiders. Watts's illustrations well depict the individual personalities of the sheep and the humans with whom they interact. Readers will find her acrylic artwork colourful, witty and detailed. The Baabaasheep Quartet will make your heart sing."
— Canadian Children's Book News magazine

"An uplifting story about accepting peopla as they are, courage and striving to find your talents."
— Timmins Daily Press
