Sleepy Sheepy Summary

Sleepy Sheepy by Lucy Ruth Cummins

Sleepy Sheepy was not sleepy But it was time for bed (At least, that's what the clock said.) But Sleepy Sheepy would not sleepy. He was wired. And absolutely not tired! In fact, he was WIDE-AWAKE. Despite his name, Sleepy Sheepy is NOT sleepy. He'd much rather build with blocks or knit socks than go to sleep. Will Ma and Pa Sheepy ever get their sheepy to go to sleepy?

Sleepy Sheepy Reviews

Caregivers will enjoy making this a bedtime read, and librarians will turn to this often for pajama storytimes. Young readers who love rebelling against bedtime rules will delight in seeing Sheepy's evening escapades, and astute members of this crowd will notice his happy smile when he's finally curled up in bed. An entertaining tale sure to resonate with those on either side of the bedtime battle.--Kirkus reviews


Children will begrudgingly drift to a dream land created by Cummins and Oswald. The title character, though appearing increasingly tired as the story goes on, is dead set against bedtime. . . . Rhyming and child-friendly vocabulary fill the tale with sleepy hour vibes. Oswald's transitions between bright and muted color palettes create a definite difference between the need to go to bed and Sheepy's denials. VERDICT This could easily end up a story hour favorite and an often checked-out new bedtime classic for not-so-tired kids and their very tired parents; this will especially work a spell on preschoolers. --School Library Journal


His eyelids are already below half-mast, and his weary parents-each of whom totes a wide-eyed infant lamb in a front-facing carrier-insist that it's bedtime. But Sleepy Sheepy, rendered by Oswald (the Food Group series) in fluffy, cloud-like textures, insists he's anything but sleepy . . . But readers will discern that Sleepy Sheepy's actions are more kicky than joyful; eventually, he lets out a big yawn, and soon, Cummins (Rock That Vote) writes, His eyelids drooped. His shoulders stooped. His brain was pooped. . . . even the most bedtime-resistant readers will respect his exhausted capitulation. --Publisher's Weekly
