Farmer Simpson's sheep find every excuse to avoid bed: they are thirsty, or it's too dark, or the ground is too hard. But while buying a nightgown for his wife, Simpson picks up some cozy blankets, and the baaahing soon turns to snoring. Though thin on plot, the smoothly rhyming text and softly textured, nighttime-hued illustrations make this a soothing lullaby.
