Illustrated by
Margot Apple.
After frolicking through seven books, these five sheep are tuckered out. It's time for bed, but "nighttime noises scare the sheep. / Really, who could go to sleep?" Enter a border collie who settles the sheep down, integrating core concepts such as counting, addition, and subtraction. Soft colored-pencil illustrations set a peaceful pastoral scene; the text's assonant sounds are soothing.
