Very cute and funny story. I think kids will like this book, especially those who struggle at bedtime!

I loved Sleep, Sheep! so much! It's exactly the book I would have read to my daughters when they hated to go to sleep. The author, Kerry Sparrow has a great bedtime story about bedtime. The little boy in the story finds every excuse in the book to not sleep. But his mom has a few tricks up her sleeves. The author was very creative with the solutions and paired with the great illustrations, I really believe this will become a great book for parents of preschoolers.

Thank you to #NetGalley and the publisher for a pre-publication ebook in exchange for an honest review.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Duncan hates to go to sleep and is always finding an excuse. One night he tries counting sheep, and it doesn't go as planned. This book has great pictures and a fun story. I think it will make little ones laugh when they get to the silly sheep.

Most people can relate to this child who tries all the tricks to extending his bed time. Although it's a real struggle, so was reading this story. When the child finally caves and is trying to count sheep, per his mother's instructions, the 68th sheep is the one trying to pull all the tricks. This book provides comfort that everybody experiences a similar struggle, but the "comedy" will be lost while reading.

I loved Sleep, Sheep! Kerry Sparrow tells a great bedtime story about bedtime. The author’s creativity combined with the perfect illustrations make me want to sit down and read through it again. It will quickly become a child’s favorite book.

In Sleep, Sheep!, Duncan is a little devil when it comes to finding ways to avoid going to sleep. Luckily his mom is pretty clever and finds a way to counteract each of his sneaky little ploys. With his usual techniques thwarted, Duncan finds himself bored and his mom recommends counting sheep to pass the time before falling asleep.

Much to his surprise, counting sheep is more entertaining than he anticipated, until, that is, he gets to Sheep #68 who has a few tricks of his own to avoid jumping over the bed. Now Duncan gets a taste of what his mom has to go through when trying to put him to bed each night.

Sleep, Sheep! is an amusing little story with fun illustrations. I'm sure this will be a favourite for a lot of little ones.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for providing me with a free electronic ARC of this book.

Duncan doesn't want to sleep! His clever mother arranges his room in such a way that it makes it impossible for him to stall before bedtime. With no excuses to not sleep, he finds it difficult to fall asleep, and his mother suggests that he count sheep.

My toddler is a huge reader, and I have read countless books to her. We enjoyed this one. The story is well played out, the struggle between Duncan and the stubborn sheep is funny, and the book is nicely illustrated. My daughter actually got excited and yelled, "SHEEP!" when the first sheep was introduced.

One thing I did notice is that on page 15 I think there needs to be a comma between the words "scarf" and "jumped". So, I believe the sentence should read, "Another sheep, this one wearing a purple number two with a matching scarf, jumped over his bed."

Overall, I enjoyed this book and I can see us adding it to our collection.

This is a really cute book! It would be great for children at bedtime. The illustrations are done very well and the story is simple and fun.

Our young hero can find any excuse to fall asleep, until his mother kits his bedroom out with absolutely everything that could prevent him nodding off - even, it seems, a huge herd of sheep to count. The adult reading this with their youngster will wonder what's the dream, when does he fall asleep, how does this fantasy work, etc, but the youngster will perhaps empathise with the lad frustrated with the reluctance to do what comes naturally that one certain sheep shows - just as he himself used to do. And both will love the background detail - sheep #878, of all sheep perhaps, with his bald top and fulsome beard. Perhaps too peculiar to become a classic, this is a strong book definitely worth a borrow - four stars from me.
