If you're looking for the perfect bedtime book, `Mary Had a Sleepy Sheep' is your answer! Poor Mary! All she wants is to spend some quality time with her friend, Shepphard the Sheep. No matter what activity she chooses, Sheppard can't stay awake enough to enjoy it! What's a girl to do? Follow Mary as she works her heart out trying to cure the sheep of his constant dozing. Will she find a cure?Julia Dweck has done a fresh & original take on `Mary had a Little Lamb'. Wilson Williams, Jr. does a brilliant job of illustrating. Each picture is humorous & Saturday-morning-cartoon beautiful. The sheep, who reminds me an awful lot of my teen sons, finds the most inventive ways to sleep. To her credit, Mary remains kind-hearted & tries her best to help.As with Julia Dweck's book, `Blucy', Mary shows that it's cool to persevere & to be kind to animals. Both are great attributes to encourage in our children. This adorable story is my favorite of Julia's work to date. She never disappoints & `Mary' is sure to become a favorite among children everywhere.Perfectly worded & of perfect length for beginning readers, this 5 star book belongs in every home as a bedtime go-to.I received 1 eBook in exchange for an honest review. ALL opinions are my own.
