| Summary/Abstract |
After the last person has gone from the earth, sheep take over the world, make the same mistakes as man, and eventually they too disappear. This dystopian novel looks at sheep living human lives. It follows the history of humans from the caves to the industrial age except this occurs with sheep after all humans have died off. It does a great job illustrating the impact that humans have had on themselves and their environment while also showing the brutality and gruesome nature of industry. Though this book is easy to read, it seems to be written for an older audience because the ideas are mature and gruesome. A discussion could be derived from reading this book as it might get people into reading dystopian novels and thinking about the human effect on the world. This might get students into becoming advocates for some cause.

| Summary/Abstract |
A unique picture book for adults with content that is discernibly political. Revolution is a powerful allegory in red, black and white by French artist Sara. it evokes repression and revolt, but also immutable freedom in the face of tyranny. Charged with emotion, this is a part picture book, part graphic novel - a world where visuals take the place of words, drawing the reader into and beyond the struggle for liberty.
