It's time for bed but Sleepy Sheepy isn't sleepy - and there are 101 things he wants to do apart from snuggling down under the blankets. Like building blocks or knitting socks - anything but go to bed. “He was WIRED and absolutely NOT TIRED!”
With its quirky rhyming text and hilarious illustrations, this is a story that will resonate with anyone who has tried to put a toddler to bed when that toddler has other ideas. So who wins the battle?
The perfect bedtime read but be aware, Sleepy Sheepy is a thoroughly modern sheep preferring to skateboard or play with the karaoke machine so other toddlers might get new ideas to delay the inevitable.
One to give the new parents or grandparents - or perhaps not!
