Meg McKinlay
Amos is trying to get to sleep when the sheep he has been counting fill his room. Rather than fading into a bedtime routine, they make demands: they want a fence built for them. The crowded sheep keep disrupting Amos’s attempt to rest as he faces their requests. The story turns a familiar counting-sheep idea into a bedtime problem involving Amos, his room, and the sheep’s insistence on a fence.
