I’ve read this many, many times as a bedtime story for my children. It’s soft and calming, in both the language and the illustrations. Collie is patient, careful and gentle with the bedtime routines for each sheep. Parents will relate to the tired Collie for sure!

I have a nice big stack of pictures books here that I've read this morning and THIS is my favorite. So, so, sweet!

And math concepts---would be fun to track this on a 5-bead rekenrek!

Love, love, love. My favorite Shaw Sheep book.

It doesn't scan very well.

A sweet little book that would be good for helping little ones count themselves to sleep. Need a hug? Check. A drink? A story? A warm blanket? Got it. One by one, the sheep get their bedtime needs met and drop off to sleep. A gentle repetition of "how many more?" helps the rhythm of the story. The kiddos will be snoozing in no time.

For: sheep fans; readers looking for a sweet and sleepy bedtime book with some counting as well.

Possible red flags: scary noises that keep sheep up.

It may be time for bed but the sheep are having trouble falling asleep. Luckily, the border collie has a few ideas on how to get them settled for the night.

As part of my annual Goodreads reading challenge, I promised myself I would read 12 picture books and expand my knowlege/reader's advisory capability in this genre. So, this was my first "Sheep" book. When I told my sister I had mailed a copy for my nephews, she exclaimed "Oh they LOVE the Sheep books! There's a new one??"

I may be late to the Sheep party but this was a sweet, rhyming rhythm to lull little ones to sleep. And the drawings were simply enchanting. All around a good one to suggest to others - and add to your own collection for little ones.

This book is an example where the attempts to capture the magic of an original story fall flat. Not that it's bad......but Sheep in a Jeep is far better

Too darn cute. I love the illustrations.
