Shebdon the Shire Horse Tries to Keep Cool is the thirty-first Pete the Bee story written by British author Paul Cook. The short stories are centred around the rescue farm where Pete and his friends live. The animals, which include Shebdon the shire horse and Brandon the fly, share many adventures together but Pete usually saves the day. These lighthearted stories can be enjoyed by children of all ages. In this story, Shebdon goes to his favourite slate tile to cool down from the sun but a large, heavy sack has been left on it. What will he do?
