APPEALS TO: MANY

Cummins reimagines a classic nursery rhyme for the most bedtime-resistant of little ""lambs"". The book cleverly adapts the familiar ""Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"" melody into a narrative about a high-energy sheep who absolutely refuses to go to sleep. Illustrated by Pete Oswald, the book features the same expressive, fluffy character from the popular Sleepy Sheepy series. The visual wit—like Sheepy’s wide-awake eyes compared to his parents' heavy-lidded exhaustion—adds a layer of humor for parents.

If you have a toddler who struggles with bedtime, this book is a must-have. It’s perfect for fans of Sandra Boynton or Eric Carle, offering a fun ""sing-aloud"" quality that makes the repetitive bedtime battle feel more like a shared joke between parent and child. It’s a sweet addition to any nursery shelf, especially for those already in love with Sheepy’s previous antics.
