Lily can't sleep and her mum suggests counting sheep to calm her to sleep but Lily's sheep just won't behave. They jump, galavant and make a mess in Lily's room as she counts them one to ten. Will Lily  be able to get the sheep under control and go to sleep?
 
Narrated through rhyming verse with an easy cadence which starts off calm moves to lively and back to calm. Delightfully fun double-page colour spreads by Cherie Dignan. I love Lily's room, it is pink, pink and more pink!! The room changes to blue soothing tones when the lights go out. 
 
Goodnight Sheep is a fun bedtime story that will be enjoyed over and over. 
 
My rating 5 / 5 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
Recommended for ages 0 - 5 years
