Presents a bedtime story, in which a little girl decides she must count sheep in order to fall to sleep, and starting at ten, her sheep begin to suffer through mishaps as she happily drifts off to sleep. In this title, each new spread illustrates sheep flying off in different directions, unable to control their roller skates or the slippery floor.
