Items related to One More Sheep
A fantastic counting book told in rhyme and based on the hilarious idea of a shepherd with ten sheep who can't count them without falling asleep. How will he know that the knock on the door isn't a lost lamb but a wolf when he can't count up to ten!

Defying all stereotypes of being merely silly and woolly, these 10 quick-witted sheep with attitude see off the cunning wolf when Sam, their foolish owner, threatens to let him in. Sam's problem is that he can't stay awake while he counts his sheep: "One, two, three, four. That's as far as he got before he started to snore." Outraged that he should find them so boring, the sheep take matters into their own hands. Having saved themselves from the wolf, they find a foolproof way of making sure that Sam never again falls asleep when he counts them. Mij Kelly's rhyming text has terrific panache, while Russell Ayto's illustrations - especially the ones of the sheep in their stripey
socks and nightcaps - are hugely engaging.

Sam has ten sheep, and he has to be sure, that he's fetched them all in, from the wild windy moor. To do this, Sam has to count them... but everyone knows counting sheep tires you out and sends you to sleep!
