Ten Little Lambs

This isn't a bad little book.  It's been pretty popular.  It starts out as a sleepover with ten children, but once they're in bed they transform into sheep.

 The text is a repetitive rhyme that counts down from ten to one.  On each page there's a different mischievous activity that the sheep engage in.

Most of the rhythm is good, but not all of it.

On each page, on of the sheep yawns or falls asleep, and the faces of the sleeping sheep who didn't make it through the night are shown along the sides of the pages.  It's pretty engaging.

It's not the best art and not the best poetry, but it's a pretty good concept.  My kids were engaged with it.
