Illustrated by
Bill Mayer.
When Farmer McFitt's sheep escape, they get into trouble all over town. Bouncy rhymes count down from ten while describing the creatures' shenanigans in the zoo, in the firehouse, and elsewhere: "Four hungry ewes run off looking for snacks. / They roam the library, inspecting the stacks." Readers can enjoy counting the runaways in the comical illustrations, though unfortunately, many images look blurred.
