Sheep Go to Sleep

(2) PS 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.
