Russell's flock went to sleep, but Russell cannot fall asleep! He decided to count feet, but he didn't have enough feet. He counted all the stars in the sky, and he still couldn't fall asleep. What is a sheep to do?

Russell is quite the character. He's fluffy and funny with a silly hat. The counting in the book is a great addition to the story. Counting can be easily done with the audience as an interaction activity.

Theme: Sheep
Additional themes: Sleep, Counting

Reviewed from a library copy.

Gelezen in het Nederlands maar vandaag al 6-7 boeken toegevoegd en nu geen fut meer. XD Dit boek was heel erg schattig en gaf me enorme Shaun Sheep vibes. Zeker ook hoe de andere schapen zich gedroegen (er is een oma schaap die met het wol van de ene (die nu in zijn ondergoed staat) gewoon een nieuw leuk dingetje breit). Ik vond het leuk geschreven en het werd nog leuker toen Russell moest slapen en het maar niet wilde lukken (ik ken dat gevoel). Hij probeert van alles en ik lag dubbel om wat hij zoal probeerde! Ik vond de illustraties ook leuk, die maakten het helemaal af.

What does a sheep count when it can't fall asleep?

I love Russell. What a cutie-pie. Poor little thing just wants to go to sleep but he can't. He tries all sorts of things. I also love the little frog and ants and of course the other sheep. They all have their individual activities. One likes to knit, a scarf, from another sheep's wool. When they go to bed one has a teddy bear and others have blankets. Maybe they made them from some other's wool. The illustrations are wonderful.

Mom's Review: The artwork is worth the price of the book alone, I dare you not to fall in love with his adorable face. The prose is simple, sweet and the storyline perfect for the young and old alike, as we have all suffered the difficulty of not being able to get to sleep. Russell has a charming personality and kids will enjoy his silly antics & maybe at the same time learn some ways of helping them get to sleep -- if they can stop giggling that is. This one is a must for all parents and absolutely perfect for story-time at school or the library. A classic I tell you.

Mom's Rating: 10/10


Jake's Review: Russell is hilarious and I understand what it feels like to not be able to get to sleep. The pictures are cute and it is a very easy read. I think Jesse would like the pictures, if he can sit still long enough to look at them - I think that midget has ants in his pants. Maybe I will get him some more Russell books, mom says there are a few others.

Jake's Rating: 9/10
