Simpson's Sheep Won't Go to Sleep: 10th Anniversary Edition

Farmer Simpson works all day.
He plants his corn and beans and hay.
His feet get tired, his nose gets red.
At night, he likes to go to bed.

So do his pigs, cows, hens, and ducks. But Farmer Simpson's sheep have other plans. Night after night, they think of every excuse to stay awake, and after weeks of little rest, Farmer Simpson feels distressed.

Then, to make matters worse, he forgets his wife's birthday! He goes to the store to buy her a gift, and blankets catch his eye. Could cozy bedding be the answer? Bruce Arant's gently lilting verse and softly rendered chalk pastel illustrations are sure make sleep irresistible, even for those with the most creative reasons to stay up late.
