What is Pete the Sheep about?

Shaun arrives in Shaggy Gully ready to work as a sheep shearer, but unlike the other shearers, he has no sheepdog. Instead, his helper is Pete, a very polite sheep who can round up the flock perfectly. The other shearers are not impressed by this unusual team, especially when Pete’s methods look different from theirs. Then Shaun and Pete find a clever way to use their special talents, proving that being different can sometimes be the best way to solve a problem.
