I have a new FAVORITE children's picture book, "Russel the Sheep" by Rob Scotton. One look at the cover and I was hooked. Russell, is a sheep who can't fall asleep. He thinks he's too hot, then he thinks he's too cold. He tries to curl up with a comfy "pillow", he counts the stars. On and on Russell goes. I don't want to give away the ending!Rob Scotton also illustrated this lovely book with humorous pictures. One of my favorite illustrations is the sheep getting ready for bed. One sheep has a teddy bear, one has a cup of warm milk (or maybe cocoa), one is brushing his teeth and the last one is asleep with his teeth in a glass. The sheep with the teeth in the glass keeps showing up - it's quite funny. Rob is also the writer/illustrator of the Splat the Cat series.
