Synopses & Reviews
A sheep finds his ideal sleeping quarters in this fun book on the Texas 2x2 Reading List. Farley loves being a sheep. But he dislikes sleeping outdoors. He never gets a good night's sleep because, if truth be told, he's afraid of the dark. His sleep improves when he discovers a cozy little house, where he can snooze to his heart's content. The only problem is that the house is a doghouse. Edna, the dog, is not happy. So she moves her house to the haystack, and the henhouse, and even up an oak tree. Wherever Edna moves her house, Farley finds it. What are Farley and Edna to do?
Review
"Beautifully illustrated."--The Reading Teacher
Review
"An insomniac sheep becomes a very unwelcome overnight guest in this good-natured tale of trespass. . . . Brightly colored digitally rendered illustrations contrast the slumbering Farley with the overwrought Edna in this farmyard foray. Fine bedtime fodder, especially for kids who fear the dark." --Kirkus Reviews
