Baby can't sleep, so Daddy says: Count sheep! And toddlers learning to count these adorably mischievous animals can count on great entertainment. A thoroughly delightful, fancifully illustrated bedtime story that's sure to become a favorite. Counting sheep has never been so entertaining, thanks to one-of-a-kind art and a charming rhyming text. Tired Mommy and Daddy want Baby to sleep; but wide-awake Baby would rather play. A good night kiss? That doesn't work. Rock-a-bye in papa's arms? Oh, no: while he waits for Baby's eyes to close, the lively boy grab's Daddy's nose! So now it's time to try something new. Counting sheep is lots of fun--soon you'll be asleep my son. Instead, the fluffy, funny creatures lead Baby on a whimsical trip where the animals strum guitars, take a ride in a jeep, splash in the pool, and dance the night away. From one to ten, they keep on coming, with antics galore. In the end, the sheep really do the trick...for Mom and Dad, anyway! Youngsters will giggle with pleasure at seeing Baby get the upper hand.

When Baby can't sleep, Daddy teaches him to count sheep. But, these sheep are far from ordinary! These sheep swim and play basketball and put on shows. Mommy and Daddy are ready to snooze away, but when will Baby end his day?

Who can resist fluffy white sheep who are doing everything but jumping over fences? Baby can't sleep, but it might be that his imagination is running wild. A fun bedtime story for the little one whose mind just can't slow down long enough to fall asleep!

Lisa Schroeder and illustrator Viviana Garofoi present a playful look a the bedtime tug-of-war between exhausted parents and wide-eyed toddlers in Baby Can't Sleep. Highly recommended for not-so-sleepy kids of all ages.
