review 1: What happens when the sheep a young girl counts quit because she will not fall asleep? An hysterical tale about a competition to find a replacement animal! The horses were too beautiful, the chickens couldn't jump the fence no matter how hard they tried. This is a laugh-out-loud good time story with lovely illustrations. There are all kinds of animals that try to be the next great counting animal - from armadillos to penguins...there are pigs more interested in snacks than jumping the fence, and buffalo that just run right through the fence. Finally, Ava talks the sheep who, after all, "are fluffy and peaceful and perfect" to come back to work and she is finally able to fall asleep. My story time audience laughed, and also enjoyed identifying all the different animal... mores who are lined for the audition. Definitely a story time winner!
review 2: Got this one for my daughter mostly because we had been talking about counting sheep to help her sleep at bedtime. She tried it and said it didn't help. We read this book and got a real giggle out of it which is what I was hoping for. After we read it she told me the next morning that she tried counting sheep again and this time she went right to sleep. She sounded so surprised when she told me and was so funny. So I must say I do recommend this book for a giggle and possibly a good nights sleep. less
