I love the Sheep series. The text in Sheep Go to Sleep is charming and the pictures are fun. Young children enjoy the humor in these stories. As a pediatric speech-language pathologist, I use every one of the books in this series with my clients who are working on the /sh/ sound. There are many opportunities to practice saying the sound correctly at the word and/or sentence level and my clients love to retell the stories to their parents. You can't do any better than that.
This book reminds me of Sandra Boynton's writing - cute, easy rhymes with a simple plot. My 1.5 year old and 3 year old love this book. Cute plot, easy rhymes, not annoying as an adult to read over and over. Plus we're border collie fans so it was fun having a children's book with a border collie as a character. Highly recommend!

It's nighty-night time for the five sheep from jeep fame. Problem is there is too much noise for snoozing. Owls and crickets make it hard to get any rest. Fortunately, the perfect nanny, in the form of a collie, comes a-calling. Sheep #1 gets a snug hug and soon starts snoring. Sheep #2 wants a drink so water is fetched. Two down, three to go. A lullaby creates the right atmosphere for the next sheep to fall into La-La Land. What's better than a stuffed friend to help you feel sleepy? Sheep #4 is provided with a teddy bear and then there was one. The last sheep receives a cozy quilt and soon all is well.The sound I hear right now is ka-ching because toddler parents will want to buy this book for nighttime reading. It's way past 10 on the cute meter, there's great rhyming action, adorable illustrations abound, and it's not that long which is great if you need to hurry to catch the second half of the game after having nighttime duties. This is definitely in the buy two category because the first one will be worn out quickly. It's also available in a board book which makes for great gnawing.
I purchased this book for a baby shower for which guests were asked to sign books instead of cards for the baby. I also bought a stuffed lamb toy to accompany it! The shower is this weekend and I expect it will be well received. The writing is peaceful and loving -- just what you would want to read to your little one.
Author Nancy Shaw and illustrator Margot Apple presents a perfect bedtime story for little ones.With the help of their Collie friend, the countdown is on it's way, to solve this bedtime dilemma.I picked this book up at the library and so very glad I did.I will be looking for more of Ms. Shaw's cute sheep stories.
This is a birthday present for my great granddaughter .. she is just learning to read and it will be fun for her to read to her younger brother.Even though I'm an adult, I loved the story.
My little guy (10 months corrected) absolutely loves this book. He won't go to sleep until he's heard it at least twice! It's such a sweet story, so I never tire of repeating it.
This is a great bedtime book. The illustrations are wonderful. The text follows the same pattern of the others in is series. My favorite is still "Sheep in a Jeep".
