Lizzy Rockwell.
This rhyming countdown to bedtime finds ten lambs fighting tiredness by performing music, making a chorus line, etc., until they have, one by one, dropped off, the last after counting sheep. What makes this bedtime book unique is its realistically frustrated Mama and the funny double-page spreads featuring her uninhibited brood to each of whom Rockwell has given a unique look.
