counting book. The illustrations really stand out in this book because they are a bit different than other illustrations that I have seen-the pictures are detailed and colorful but are represented in almost a pixelated/computer graphic like format. This is a very cute story! Show Less

This book was hilarious to me. I would rate it on the level of the Doreen Cronin books, which are some of my favorite!

Hide and Sheep is a fun little book, one that, with its rhyming text, makes for an excellent read-aloud.

Still, leaving that aside, this is an engaging bedtime book, especially with its play on the idea of counting sheep.
