Being part of a flock is easy, you just have to do what the others do. But when Sheep Four decides not to follow the others, how will Mike, the boy counting sheep, get to sleep?

Being a sheep is easy. All they have to do is graze, snooze and help people fall asleep now and again. Every person is assigned their own personal flock… The drill is always the same, first Sheep one jumps over the fence, then Sheep two followed by Sheep three and so forth.

When a little boy called Mike can’t sleep one night, he starts to count his personal flock.. Sheep One, Sheep Two, Sheep Three… but then something strange happens… Sheep four doesn’t want to jump!

How will Mike be able to get to sleep now?

Cartoon art outlined in black depicts green-dominated pasture scenes against white space offset by blue and dark gray tones for Mike’s sleepless setting, enhancing the amusing premise of this offbeat but heartening narrative. A humorous take on a long-standing tactic for combating insomnia. (Picture book. 5-8) – Kirkus.
