Book Descriptions
for Will Sheep Sleep? by Hilary Leung
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Three board books offer thoughtful, sometimes unexpected answers to three titular questions. In Will Bear Share?, Bear has a playroom full of toys and snacks, but will she share? Each page spread depicts Bear with one of her possessions as it asks the question. The answer is always “yes”—except when it comes to her toothbrush, which she will not share with her crocodile friend. Using the same question-and-answer format, Ladybug offers to hug each friend in Will Ladybug Hug? All of her friends accept her increasingly creative hugs except Sheep, who, in a simple lesson about consent and respect, says that he “does not want to hug and that’s okay.” In Will Sheep Sleep?, Sheep is tired, but will he sleep? He tries a few different bedtime activities. Brushing his teeth, cuddling his favorite stuffed animal, and reading a story do not help him sleep, but counting sheep—with a little help from his sheep-costumed friends—just might. Silly, engaging questions and bug-eyed animals invite young children to think and talk about activities and social interactions they likely encounter in their own day-to-day lives. (Ages 1–3)
