Great for little ones, lovely pictures, easy simple story

Another wonderful book by Laura Numeroff, author of the "If You Give A..." series. In this book a little girl can't fall asleep because the sheep are asleep, so she counts other animals. This is suitable for even 1 and 2 year olds. The sentences are repetitive and rhyming which makes for easy reading and keeps kids attention. My two year can 'read' it to herself. The pictures are lovely and the treatment of animals is soft and cuddly.
