Praise for this book

Praise for Sleepy Sheepy and the Sheepover

"Cummins brings her gently humorous story, written in bouncy rhymes, to a predictable ending, but readers will enjoy it nonetheless, especially kids (er, lambs) who have had their own first "sheepovers" at a beloved relative's home. The cheerful, lively illustrations are endearing; boldfaced typefaces of different sizes are incorporated playfully into the text. Young readers needn't feel sheepish about appreciating this sweet, entertaining story." --Kirkus reviews

"As in the previous volume, the text is relatively short and, while written inprose, includes rhyming couplets from time to time, just for fun. . . . Oswald's illustrations are both amusing and endearing. As a classroom read-aloud choice, this picture book is sure to elicit sleepover memories from young listeners." --Booklist
