Counting Sheep by Michelle Robinson & Nikki Dyson

What if the sheep you're counting... don't want to sleep?

Down on the quiet farm, it's bedtime and Sheepdog Sam is on a mission to round up the flock and help everyone drift off to dreamland. But the sheep have other plans! Some don't want to sleep, others don't know how to count, and before long, the whole farm is wide awake and full of noise!

This playful twist on the classic bedtime idea is filled with laughter, counting chaos, and delightful farmyard sounds. With humorous rhymes and vibrant illustrations by Nikki Dyson, Counting Sheep is a joyful read-aloud that makes winding down a little more fun.

Why We (and Schools) Like It:

• Early Numeracy Skills: Introduces counting in a fun, non-linear way that supports early math development.
• Supports SEL: Explores patience, problem-solving, and bedtime routines with humor.
• Perfect Read-Aloud: Rhythmic text and sound effects make it ideal for group reading in classrooms or at home.
