(4) K-3 "I am just a woolly sheep. / Please help me count myself to sleep." Twenty short works by poets including Christina Rossetti, Robert Louis Stevenson, Laura Godwin, and Eileen Spinelli offer glimpses of different animals, from spiders and caterpillars to bears, elephants, and whales. Hague's old-fashioned-looking pencil-and-ink and watercolor illustrations are more successful with animals than people, some of whom look awkward.
