One of my 2 year old's favorite books!

I ordered a number of books to go with our farm unit. Little Man is at a stage where he prefers to stick to his favs and new books are not readily accepted. Most of the new ones stay on the shelf but this one he loves. The lyrics are lyrical! Almost like a song. The gentle repetition and beautifully expressive illustrations have wonderful appeal! Wish I could find more books he likes as much as this!

Very Good Read!

I liked the idea of the sheep trying to get a goodnight sleep! But, other animals ruined the sheep’s pleasant sleep! I’m giving this book to my niece!
