Merry Christmas, Sleepy Sheepy!

It's a very Sheepy Christmas!

From New York Times bestselling illustrator Pete Oswald and critically acclaimed author Lucy Ruth Cummins comes the perfect Christmas read-aloud for any little one who has ever stayed up late to see Santa Claus!

'Twas one sleep before Christmas when all through his home, 
just one creature was stirring and slurping some foam.
His stocking was hung by the chimney quite tight
in the hopes that Santa would visit that night!

It's Christmas eve and Sleepy Sheepy has just one thing on his mind: staying up to catch sight of Santa Claus! But as it gets later and later, Sleepy Sheepy gets quite . . . well . . . SLEEPY! Will everyone's favorite sheep be able to stay awake long enough to see Santa?

With jolly rhyming text and brought to life with hilariously expressive art, Merry Christmas, Sleepy Sheepy! is a not-to-be-missed Christmas romp as Sleepy Sheepy tries desperately to stay awake to see Santa Claus.
