This was a cute little read and audiences of all ages will love this. The art style was adorable and the illustrations were everything i'd hope they'd be and more.

This was a wonderful book. The book was about a sheep that could not get to sleep. The sheep asked all his friends but was still unable to get any help. This is a great with rhyming and a good storyline that can keep the children entertained throughout the story.

I was granted access to this book after it was archived so unfortunately I’m unable to review it. Hopefully my library will buy this book so I am able to read and review it in the future.

What a wonderful bedtime story for little ones. Woolly the sheep is having trouble falling asleep. He is tired but just can't doze off. He seeks the advice from his barnyard friends Hattie the hen, Sally the spider, Bertie the Bull, Connie the Cow and Kitty the cat. All of them give him the same advise, count sheep. Granddaddy Ram tells him to try the advise of his friends and it goes from there. This a cute rhyming book which will hold a child's interest and the illustrations are fun and well done. I recommend this book for 2-5 year olds.

This is a sweet little bedtime story about a sleepy sheep that cannot sleep. There is some good repetition throughout, and for the most part the rhyming scheme is smooth. There are a few places that it feels clunky or awkward but overall it's fine.

The illustrations are beautiful, soft colours and pleasing to the eye.

Thank you to #NetGalley, the publisher and the author for an advance e-copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

The illustrations are a perfect match for the text -- kids will be able to pick up on how exhausted Woolly is when every other sheep is fast asleep.

As he polls the farm animals on how they fall asleep, he senses a theme: they all count sheep. But will the same technique work for him? This is a sweet, playful story, and the rhyming text is a treat for parents to read and will engage children's attentions (but hopefully only as long as the book lasts, after which parents will wish them to follow in the footsteps of all the sleeping animals).

First let me Thank Netgalley for this digital copy. This is such a cute book. Woolly can't fall asleep so he asks all his friends how they go to sleep. The story is so sweet and the illustrations are amazing. Love the watercolors. I definitely recommend this book to everyone of all ages.

This is a cute bedtime story about a sheep that can not fall asleep. He asks his friends on the farm and they tell him when they can't fall asleep they count sheep. Hmmm, how will a sheep count sheep to fall asleep. Beautiful illustrations accompany this story that also incorporates simple counting.

This was a cute story about Woolly the sheep, who just couldn't sleep. Woolly comes across some lovable character in his quest to help him sleep, and it touches on the idioms of "Counting Sheep". The story was done well, but the illustrations were what really make this book stand out. The vibrant colors, and adorable pictures really drew me in. I can totally see this being the perfect bed time story... especially if your little one isn't one to easily fall asleep.

Overall I like the story and love the vibrant watercolor illustrations. The book has a nice sing song rhyme pattern that is more nursery rhyme than not. But it is glaringly obvious when the rhyming pattern falls, which it does about 3-4 times.

I thought this was a sweet book and I liked the illustrations but the fluctuating rhyme scheme made reading it aloud difficult.

This is a cute little bed-time read that encourages counting skills, while helping a little one to fall asleep. Lovely illustrations.

This was a cute story about a sheep who could not get to sleep and so he asks all his farm friends what they do to fall asleep. You can guess the answer....counting sheep.
