Much to his surprise, counting sheep is more entertaining than he anticipated...

He has a Velcro tail that also functions as a strap, making him portable and easy to strap onto prams, cots, or cribs. He’s also machine washable - ideal for the messy baby stage of life.

This is the author's debut book and it is delightful. Duncan likes the prep before bed... brushing his teeth with bubble gum toothpaste, changing into his jammies, cuddling with mom as she reads him his bedtime story but the thing he dislikes most? He doesn't like to drift off to sleep. From the Publisher: There are lots of things Duncan likes about bedtime --- the stories, the pajamas, the bubblegum-flavored toothpaste ... The only thing he doesn't like is going to sleep. And he'll do anything he can to avoid it. Until one day, Duncan's mom has had enough of his stalling. “Try counting sheep,” she tells him. So, he does. At first, it's kind of fun. As he counts, each sheep appears, wearing its number like a race car, and leaps over the bed. But then comes Sheep #68, who hesitates. He needs a drink of water before he can jump. Then he has to go to the bathroom. Then he wants to put on running shoes. Will Sheep #68 ever do what he's supposed to? I haven't had a problem with this until the 2nd half of the last movie, I'm just not fast enough... This fantastic story about counting sheep at bedtime was a hit with our 5 year old, J. His favorite part was when the mother prepares the boy’s room with everything he may possibly need for bedtime. We have finally reached the place where bedtime is enjoyable with J. The struggle is still very real with our 3 year old though. She is very much like the little boy in this book, except our process often involves tears. When the mother suggests to the little boy that he count sheep I asked J if he knew what that was. He said he saw it on a show once but he didn’t know why you do that. I believe the book did a great job of connecting the idea of counting sheep for sleep and illustrating the concept. When we got to the part where sheep number 68 is hesitating to jump I asked J if this sheep reminded him of anyone else. He was able to identify that the sheep was like the boy avoiding sleep.Having tested a variety of sleep aids myself, I feel the high quality of Ewan’s relaxing sounds - and his cuteness, of course - make him worth the price.

Thanks to NetGalley and publisher Kids Can Press for the ebook ARC of Sleep, Sheep! by Kerry Sparrow in exchange for an honest review. Sleep, Sheep! is a picturebook written by Kerry Lyn Sparrow and illustrated by Guillaume Perrault. There are lots of things Duncan likes about bedtime; the stories, the pajamas, the bubblegum-flavored toothpaste. The only thing he doesn't like is going to sleep, and he'll do anything he can to avoid it. One day Duncan's mom has had enough of his stalling. “Try counting sheep,” she tells him. So, he does. At first, it's kind of fun. As he counts, each sheep appears, wearing its number like a race car, and leaps over the bed. But then comes Sheep #68, who hesitates. He needs a drink of water before he can jump. Then he has to go to the bathroom. Then he wants to put on running shoes. Will Sheep #68 ever do what he's supposed to? My six year old was clearly on Duncan’s side. He so identified with him and laughed and became excited during parts of this. We both thought the first half of the tale with Duncan’s sleep dilemma was better than the second half. The book was so cute, the illustrations were nice and each sheep had a personality with their attire. I think children and adults would enjoy this bedtime story. A cutish book about a boy who can't sleep, who has come with excuses why he can't sleep, and is told to count sheep, so he does.

Thank you to NetGalley , Kids Can Books, and author Kerry Lyn Sparrow for this review copy in exchange for our honest opinion. Sleep, Sheep! is an amusing little story with fun illustrations. I'm sure this will be a favourite for a lot of little ones. Touché sheep #68. Way to give Duncan a taste of his own procrastination techniques. Kids should find this funny and entertaining while adults will be hoping that kids catch on to the point of the story. I can just see a family reading this and calling each other on becoming sheep #68 if they’re procrastinating going to bed. Highly recommended to anyone who has to go to bed before they want to or any adults who have to put kids to bed before they want to go. (And of course it is also good for an entertaining read.) ewan mimics the comfort of the womb with a soft red, melatonin inducing glow, similar to what baby would see from within the 'bump'.
