Illustrated by
Russell Ayto.
One stormy night, Sam brings his ten sheep indoors to sleep, but when he tries to count them, he falls asleep. A knock on the door may mean that one sheep is still outside. Or does it? Like Sam's flock, listeners will see right through the shifty-looking stranger's flimsy disguise. Ayto's dynamic, cartoonlike pictures heighten the rhyming story's humor.
