Illustrated by
Tim Warnes.
One by one, a sheep dog, a pig, a duck, and other farm animals discover someone sleeping in their beds. The sturdy, split-page format invites young listeners to participate in this guessing game (the identity of each sleepy creature is hinted at on one page and fully revealed on the next). Although the story isn't original, simple word repetition and bright pictures should appeal to lapsitters and story-hour audiences.
