About This Book
Reach for this book when bedtime has become a battle of wills or a source of anxiety for a child who struggles to quiet their mind. Instead of the usual hushed tones of a sleep-inducing story, this book offers a release valve through laughter and absurdity. It is perfect for children who thrive on high energy and clever humor, providing a shared moment of joy that can de-escalate the tension of a long day. The story follows a young boy attempting to count sheep, only for the 101st sheep to cause a literal crash that brings a parade of unexpected, noisy guests into his bedroom. Through this meta-fictional romp, children see their own bedtime distractions externalized in a hilarious way. It is an ideal choice for parents who want to foster a love of storytelling and creativity while acknowledging that sometimes, falling asleep is just plain hard work. This book is most appropriate for children ages 4 to 8 who appreciate slapstick humor and breaking the fourth wall.
