Illustrated by
Guillaume Perreault.
After his mom suggests counting sheep, perpetually bedtime-averse Duncan takes her advice, and for each number he utters, a sheep jumps over his bed...until one sheep refuses to jump before it gets a drink of water, goes to the bathroom, etc. (Remind you of someone?) The comedy in this welcome spin on the bedtime-avoidance book is sensibly undercut with a soporifically soft palette.
