Julia Dweck is without a doubt the consummate Author of Children’s Books. She has her own distinctive, charming and enlightening way of reaching the imagination of children while revealing a great message in the process.Mary has a very sleepy sheep and she is determined to do whatever it takes to keep her sheep named Sheppard awake. Her mother kicked Sheppard out of Mary’s bed and told her to get that sheep outside! Mary tries everything she can think of to entertain and keep Sheppard awake but nothing works. She finally discovers the secret to keep him awake and finds out that it is more than she can handle.This brings back to mind the old adage “Be Careful What You Wish For”!The illustrations by Wilson Williams Jr. are vibrant and imaginative and bring the story to life. The rhythm of the story is engaging and fun and you will find yourself reading this book to your children and grandchildren more than once. The activity page at the end of the story is an educational and fun addition to this book.I highly recommend this book for all Parents’ and Grandparent’s to read to their children and grandchildren. This book would make a great Christmas gift as well.
