What a wonderful twist to a familiar nursery rhyme! This sheep, although sleepy-sleepy-sleepy, was so cute and funny. Mary does everything to try to keep him awake - and her attempts kept my younger daughter (6) smiling. The rhymes are cute, and the illustrations are amazing. We had to read the book three times alone at the first sitting. And then we put it down? Oh no!Julia adds wonderful activities to the end of her stories, ones that the kids have to do immediately (of course). This time there was a mouse hidden in each and every page. That alone meant that my daughter and I went through the whole story 2 more times.Five times through the story the first time we sat down with it. If that doesn't make a book worth recommending, I don't know what does.
