Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Try Counting Sheep
Joanne Partis · 2007
68/100
👎 Skip It
Taking the classic 'count sheep to sleep' idiom and turning it into a seek-and-find board book is clever and toddler-tested. The kittens are a sweet device and the interactive search element gives little fingers something to do as eyes get heavy. It sits just below the threshold because the text is minimal, critical attention is absent, and the bedtime board book space is genuinely crowded with stronger competition.
