Description
See below for English description.
Damien aime les collations du soir et les histoires avant le dodo. Il aime aussi mettre son pyjama préféré et brosser ses dents avec du dentifrice au goût de gomme à mâcher. La seule chose que Damien n'aime pas à propos de l'heure du coucher, c'est de s'endormir. Il est prêt à tout pour éviter de le faire, mais sa maman a plus d'un tour dans son sac. Un jour, elle le laisse se débrouiller seul. Damien essaie alors de compter les moutons pour s'endormir. Tout se déroule bien jusqu'à ce qu'il tombe sur le mouton no 68, qui semble hésiter à sauter.
Enfants et parents s'identifieront aux difficultés qu'éprouve Damien à s'endormir et éclateront de rire à voir le jeune homme tenter de jouer l'adulte lorsqu'il doit convaincre le mouton de sauter. Une lecture parfaite pour l'heure du dodo!
A hilarious take on an age-old plight, Sleep, Sheep! won't help anyone get to sleep!
Duncan likes bedtime snacks and bedtime stories. He likes putting on his favourite pajamas and brushing his teeth with bubblegum-flavoured toothpaste. The only part of the bedtime ritual he dislikes is going to sleep, and he knows all the tricks for avoiding it... Until one day, his mom leaves him to figure it out on his own. So Duncan tries counting sheep to fall asleep. It all goes well for a while, but then Sheep #68 is a bit apprehensive about taking his turn, and suddenly, the tables have turned...
Both kids and parents will relate to the trouble Duncan experiences going to sleep, and laugh at the role reversal as he becomes the parent. A perfect bedtime read!
