Sleepy Sheepy is NOT sleepy! He would rather play, get a snack, knit some socks, or do anything other than go to bed. Ma and Pa Sheepy, on the other hand, are very sleepy. Will Sleepy Sheepy ever go to bed?
In contrast with the text, Sheepy's eyes look very sleepy. The going-to-bed battle will be relatable for both kids and parents. Oswald's illustrations are eye-catching and simple (similar to his illustrations in The Bad Seed series). I used this as a read-aloud with kindergarteners, and they were giggling at Sheepy's antics. Characters are sheep.
