It’s Christmas Eve and Bo can’t sleep, so he starts counting sheep in this hilarious and fun holiday read-aloud for young children and families.

When Bo starts counting sheep to help him sleep before Santa arrives, the sheep get a mind of their own. They glimpse the Christmas goodies, scatter, and wreak holiday mayhem all over the house. “Sheep 4 gnaws the stockings—leaves holes in the toes; 5 swallows some garland, and ribbon, and bows!” With a house full of sheep and a mess to clean, will Bo get to sleep before Santa comes?
Encourage number recognition in this delightful story of a night before Christmas gone baa-dly wrong.
