After Mama and Papa kiss her goodnight, Lena tells her sleep sheep that she's ready to start counting them. But the big round "monster" (moon) in the window "sca-a-a-a-a-red" them into hiding. How will Lena ever get to sleep if her sheep won't come out? Playful folk art–style gouache and watercolor illustrations provide a pleasant backdrop for this simple bedtime story.
