I Can’t Sleep, Bring in the Sheep!

Bo is excited because tomorrow is the first day of school.  But he is so anxious about it, he can’t go to sleep.

Desperate, he asks sheep to come so he can count them.  The sheep show up, but not the way he wanted.  The sheep do everything but behave, and instead, they make lots messes.

They grab Bo’s backpack, spilling everything inside it all over the place.  After finding his crayons, they break them all, along with drawing a big mural on the wall.  After scaring themselves they wreck the house more.  Then they decide to have a pillow fight until the feathers come out and fly everywhere.

The tale is told in the form of a rhyme that tickles the tongue.  That is sure to bring laughs and giggles—along with helping to diffuse the worry about tomorrow.

Bo knows he must clean up the huge mess the sheep made.  By doing that, it does take his mind off worrying about school, but there are consequences! Besides the fun rhyming and the situations the sheep get into, this tale also shows little ones the foolishness of worrying about something in the future.  Nothing will be changed by that, and it will only cause you to waste your time.

“…don’t worry about tomorrow…today has enough trouble of its own.” –Jesus Christ (Matthew 6: 34 NET Bible)

This would be a great book to read the night before school starts, but it is a tale that is readable any time of the year.  Hard-backed and over-sized, this pictures book is filled with funny illustrations that will be much loved. This 5-star book will be enjoyed by children through third grade.
