Being part of a flock is easy, you just have to do what the others do. But when Sheep Four decides not to follow the others, how will Mike, the boy counting sheep, get to sleep?

Being a sheep is easy. All they have to do is graze, snooze, and help people fall asleep now and again. Every person is assigned their own personal flock... The drill is always the same, first Sheep One jumps over the fence, then Sheep Two followed by Sheep Three, and so forth.

When a little boy called Mike can't sleep one night, he starts to count his personal flock... Sheep One, Sheep Two, Sheep Three... but then something strange happens... Sheep Four doesn't want to jump!

How will Mike be able to get to sleep now?

Tambien disponible en español. (Also available in Spanish.)
