Sleepy Sheepy

Penned by critically acclaimed author Lucy Ruth Cummins alongside Pete Oswald, the New York Times bestselling illustrator behind The Sour Grape, this rhyming bedtime story introduces a brand new picture book character: Sleepy Sheepy, a sheep who is definitely NOT sleepy! Age 3-7 years.

The verse sets the scene: Sleepy Sheepy was not sleepy, but the clock said it was bedtime. He was wired and absolutely not tired, in fact WIDE-AWAKE. True to that, Sleepy Sheepy would far rather build with blocks or knit socks than drift off. Will Ma and Pa Sheepy ever get their sheepy to sleepy? Brought to life by #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator Pete Oswald (The Bad Seed, The Good Egg, The Smart Cookie, The Sour Grape), this hilarious read-aloud is one little lambs everywhere will love.

Praise for Sleepy Sheepy: "Caregivers will enjoy making this a bedtime read, and librarians will turn to this often for pajama storytimes. An entertaining tale sure to resonate with those on either side of the bedtime battle." —Kirkus reviews. "This could easily end up a story hour favorite and an often checked-out new bedtime classic for not-so-tired kids and their very tired parents; this will especially work a spell on preschoolers." —School Library Journal. "Sleepy Sheepy, rendered by Oswald in fluffy, cloud-like textures, insists he's anything but sleepy . . . even the most bedtime-resistant readers will respect his exhausted capitulation." —Publishers Weekly
