The Sheep Counting Dream Alex Raffi

This is a story about a little girl who is too excited to sleep. So her dad gives her some advice his father gave him once or twice. "Why don't you start counting sheep?" He says. And so it begins... This story was originally written in 2000 but truly came to life once my daughter Elizabeth was born in 2003. Her whimsical spirit and boundless imagination inspired me to illustrate and complete the book in 2010. This is a full-color children's book. Written in rhyme. Great for kids between the ages of 4 and 10. I've also included a small drawing with numbers lesson. I hope you and your child have as much fun reading it as I did making it. Enjoy, and have sweet dreams.
