Amos is counting himself to sleep. It's a good plan, until the cranky
sheep land in his bedroom -- and start in with their many demands.
It's bedtime for Amos, who smiles as he closes his eyes and counts some
fluffy sheep trotting away in the grass. Until suddenly . . . THUD.
And then another. "Not again!" says the first sheep, now on Amos's
floor. "I was having my wool clipped," grumbles the second. None too
happy at being interrupted, the woolly pair fire a battery of questions
at Amos, most importantly: "Where's the fence?" So Amos sets out to
build one to their specifications, then is asked to test it out, of
course. . . . In this laugh-out-loud read-aloud, a couple of crafty
sheep put a child through his paces -- and show that a tuckered-out kid
at bedtime is a win-win all around.
