Review Detail

Russell the sheep has a problem. When night comes, and all the other sheep go to sleep, Russell can't. He tries everything, including pulling his sleep cap over his eyes so it's darker, trying to get cooler, and finding a different sleeping spot.

Nothing works!

At last he decides to count things. Counting his feet doesn't work and neither does counting the stars. Hmm. At last, he decides to count sheep. Sleep still eludes him, however, until he remembers to count the very last one--him!

This is the perfect bed-time tale, with a clever story line and adorable illustrations. Children and parents alike should enjoy finding the funny little details in the pictures (one illustration shows a sheep knitting, as the wool unravels from another onto her knitting needles.

Highly recommended for sleepyheads everywhere.
