Pete the Sheep is a 2004 picture book by Jackie French and illustrated by Bruce Whatley.

Booklist, reviewing Pete the Sheep, wrote "This is one extended joke, but the text is so jaunty and the artwork so amusing, it's hard to mind.

"[1] The School Library Journal was more critical, writing "The creators of Diary of a Wombat (Clarion, 2003) have produced a bit of harmless, silly fluff that, while mildly amusing, is hardly likely to inspire rereading.

Whatley's watercolor-and-colored-pencil illustrations are clean and crisp and work nicely with the text, but there is simply not much substance here.

"[1] The Horn Book Magazine found that "Whatley's cleanly designed illustrations, which favor subdued colors and lots of white space, work well with French's understated text.
