About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Books for Children, 1985. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover. SIGNED BY MACAULAY on half title page. Dust jacket price-clipped. Borrowing from themes of George Orwell's Animal Farm in 1943 and the 1973 movie Soylent Green, David Macaulay's children's book Baaa draws parallels to these stories with demonstrations of matters of overpopulation, resource depletion, social hierarchies, and consumption by depicting sheep evolving to a point of self destruction. The post-apocalyptic storytelling evident in Baaa is reminiscent of Macaulay's earlier work titled "Motel of the Mysteries" in which twentieth century civilization as we know it has ceased to exist. The combination of intellectually savvy text with rich pen and ink drawings complement his analysis of societal ills while supporting a solid body of work. Record # 351576
Synopsis
After the last person has gone from the earth, sheep take over the world, make the same mistakes as humans, and eventually disappear as well.
