If you're a parent, you know that one of the best times to read a picture book is bedtime. If you're a kid, you might actually think that bedtime books are a wide-swinging gateway to imaginative play, and not just to sleep You might wonder, for instance; if people count sheep to fall asleep, what do sheep count? Flowers, says this beautifully fanciful dream of a book. Sunflowers, roses, geraniums, jasmine. And there's lots of OTHER things you probably don't know about sheep. Sheep have neither pajamas nor pillows nor slippers. They tell bedtime stories about rhinoceroses and airplanes. They ONLY fly when they're sleeping, like butterflies circling the sun. In fact, there are sheep that sparkle in the dark like stars and fireflies. Or are there?
