The Sleep Sheep

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Hannah Shaw. Sleep-averse Sylvie tries to count sheep, but they take off for the beach on rollerblades and other wheeled vehicles, thwarting her efforts. When the sheep finally conk out, Sylvie's counting (which ultimately proves soporific) can really begin. The book's final twist--the sheep have been conspiring to tire out Sylvie--will outsmart most readers, and Shaw's illustrations manage the merry mayhem beautifully.
