Description
The impossible bedtime wordsearch from creators of Find The Fox and 20,000 Cows.
Counting Sheep is a brand new wordsearch book taking a playful twist on the classic "counting sheep" ritual. Instead of lulling you to sleep, you'll be wide awake hunting down thousands of sneaky sheep scattered across 200 puzzles—hidden behind trees, disguised as clouds, and causing mischief throughout every bucolic scene...
Each puzzle pairs a charming illustration with a tricky word search on the facing page. The cosy countryside backdrop stays the same, but those clever sheep keep changing places, making every search a fresh challenge.
Think this will help you drift off? Think again. It's perfect for anyone who loves a bit of bedtime mischief, a healthy dose of frustration, and a good old-fashioned puzzle marathon. Ideal for sheep lovers, night owls, and puzzle fanatics alike.
Why you'll love Count the Sheep:
Brain Teaser on Steroids: Ideal for anyone who thinks regular word searches are for wimps. This is the Everest of word searches, and you're climbing it with no gear.
One Black Sheep: Spot the elusive Black Sheep hiding somewhere in the flock for an extra twist.
Great for Gifting (and Gloating): Know someone who brags about their puzzle-solving skills? Give them this book and watch the smugness evaporate.
Conversation Starter: Leave it on your coffee table, and it's guaranteed to spark conversation. Mainly, 'Why on earth do you have this?'
Ready for a woolly good time? Grab your copy and prepare for a sleepless night... for flock's sake!

About the Author
Are you looking for a normal book? Turn back now, because Alex Cheddar is seriously unhinged. His creations blend the stale world of puzzles with the surreal. Think Picasso. Think Dali. Now forget them because Alex is not a painter. But don't let that dissuade you, because his creations will create a vivid picture in your mind. A picture of hatred for the person sadistic enough to devise these devilish puzzles.
