I would love to win this because it’s such a great book and prize pack. Yes, I sometimes have to count sheep to get to sleep but other times I have no trouble falling asleep.
“Please tell us why you would love to win this giveaway. Do you count sheep to fall alseep?” This looks delightful! And I understand that counting “1, 2, 1, 2” as you breathe in and out helps you relax and fall asleep!
One of my younger grandsons has a problem falling asleep so if Mom reads something like this it might help. That is the cutest cover with that adorable sheep face 😊
I read a book to my granddaughter before bedtime and this would make a perfect addition.
We have two sheep named Weird Alice and Fancy Nancy. No, I do not count sheep.
Anne, I love your sheep names! I think you’ve got yourself the perfect title of a picture book: Weird Alice and Fancy Nancy. Ha! Good luck, and kindest regards, Raven.
This looks like a super cute book for my younger daughter who is an emerging reader. I think she would really like this book about these cute sheep.
This looks so cute and fun for my kids at bed time. No, I don’t count sheep
I think this would be a great way to end a long day–a wonderful bedtime story.
This book looks so fun. Yes I have counted sheep to fall asleep. I have counted lots of things to fall asleep and sometimes just counted.
Love the concept and a great way to introduce a relaxation technique that I have used myself on occasion.
So delightful and special which would be a real treasure. I count sheep many nights.
i have a couple kids who can love books
I would give this to my niece. No, I do not count sheep.
My kids love reading at bedtime(and other times, but always before bed) i’m sure they’d love these books. We’ve never counted sheep!
It’s just a perfect book for the grandchildren. I have tried counting sheep and it really works by putting an active mind to sleep.
I know my grandchildren would love reading this book. No I don’t count sheep to fall asleep but I might give it a try!!!

My daughters would love these. My oldest daughter counts unicorns. 😉
I don’t usually count sheep to go to sleep. But sometimes here, I do. I truly think we need a new mattress. lol
I want to win this because the cover looks charming and the kids in the family would love this book. They’re the right age for it. I actually have tried counting sheep to get to sleep. Sometimes it’s works and other times not.
Fun book! I used to count sheep!
My nieces love bedtime stories and would love this book! I used to count sheep as a young kid but not anymore 🙂
These books sound like fun for the kids and we sometimes do count sheep to fall asleep at night.
I do not count sheep to fall asleep. But I do think about each of our dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and goats, one by one, when I can’t sleep. I list their qualities, what I love about them, why I’m thankful for them–counting my blessings, and sure enough, I find myself dozing off…
A little to old to count sheep My great niece (3) now I am not sure how she goes to sleep just plain tired. Zadaya loves animals and books
No I don’t count sheep, but I do talk to the Great Shepherd.
My great niece loves her books! I was buying her books before she was ever born. I wanted her to grow up learning how good books were

I would love to win this for my grandson who would enjoy the book. He could use such a relaxing book and the idea of counting sheep to fall asleep.When I was little I would try to count sheep, but I never got very far!.
I would love to win it for my 5 grand kids.
I would love to win for my daughter.
