Praise for Ten Sleepy Sheep

A very cute little bedtime board book, especially for very young readers. A lovely, gentle read-aloud with simple, sleepy illustrations.

Margaret Hamilton, Pinerolo newsletter

Renee’s books are always beautiful with their gentle and heart-warming illustrations and this lovely counting book is no exception . . . What a beautiful bedtime book this is and will no doubt be requested time and again. A gorgeously sleepy-time book perfect for babies upwards.

Sue Warren, Just So Stories

Highly recommended. In a gentle rhythmic narrative that reads aloud beautifully, the young child is invited to count backwards from ten, looking at the animals that could be found on a farm . . . This is a lovely, gentle board book that will be appreciated at bedtime as the young child is soothed to sleep.

Pat Pledger, ReadPlus

With black and white animals on beautiful, muted background colours, the book uses gentle rhyme to count down from ten sheep to one sleepy joey. The book is printed on beautiful, glossy card and is sure to make a wonderful enduring present for babies.
