Baby Can't Sleep - Hardcover

PreS–A tired father counts sheep in an attempt to lull his baby to sleep. These are no ordinary sheep, however. Rather than merely jump over fences, they strum guitars, ride jeeps, and swing from maple trees. After counting to 10, the father yawns, but the baby is still wide awake. The mother takes over, but drifts off herself before the infant can be coaxed into slumber. Finally, the dog brings a toy sheep to the child, who is last seen asleep in a crib. With its lilting rhyme and brightly colored, humorous cartoon illustrations, this book will resonate with parents of active babies. For the most part, the rhythm bounces merrily along without mishap. The pictures reinforce the story's light, fun tone, and older toddlers may enjoy counting the sheep.–Suzanne Myers Harold, Multnomah County Library System, Portland, OR
