Sleep Sheepy is back. This time he’s going on his very FIRST sheepover at Grammy and Grampy Sheepy’s place. Hes very excited. He’s packed and even added a few more things in ‘just in case’. He’ll have his two favouite sheepys all to himself. he wonders what they’ll do. Maybe he can stay up late!
As Ma ad Pa Sheepy drive away, Sleep Sheepy feels quite ‘BAAAAAD!’ He’s not sure why he feels a bit different. The blanket is scratchy and his tummy feels twisty. His eyes are misty. He misses home and Sleepy Sheepy COULD NOT SLEEP!
Grampy Sleepy knew what to do though. So did Grammy Sheepy.
Your Pa loved this book. Would you like to take a look?
Then they munched and crunched cookies from the oven, giggled and wiggled as they danced, and before he knew it … ‘he was tucked in tight’.
This addition to the ‘Sleepy Sheepy’ series nits the nail on the head with helping any littlies who are facing their own first sheepover away from home. The rhyming which makes it a bouncy fun read and it’s just a joyful story full of humour. A happy ending of course is assured.
