One night Tansy the Sheep couldn’t get to sleep, no matter how hard she tried. Her mum told her to shut her eyes and think about something she liked, but she liked lots of things and didn’t know which to choose.

A Barn Owl heard her asking the other sheep how to get to sleep. It swooped in low and told her to start counting sheep, that would get her to sleep. Unfortunately, Tansy counting sheep only made things worse and now all the sheep were awake too.

Go to Sleep! is an amusing children’s book. It is exquisitely illustrated with fabulous full-page drawings by Sarah-Leigh Wills that add lots of fun to the story.

The plot is engaging and I can see little children being fully invested in trying to find out if Tansy ever managed to get to sleep.

Go To Sleep is an adorable book that would be perfect for a bedtime read, or even a class read. This is going to be one of those books that children ask to have read to them over, and over, again.

About the Author

Marion Adams has been writing for as long as she can remember, usually for fun and sometimes for money as well. She started her career as an in-house copywriter with a publisher and now works as a freelance proofreader and editor. It’s her dream job because she’s paid to read all day (and eat dark chocolate).

Over the years, she’s written all kinds of things for both adults and children, some serious and some less so, with published work including magazine stories, articles, poems, plays and non-fiction books.

Marion lives in Devon, UK, and when she’s not reading or writing (or eating dark chocolate), she loves going for walks on the wild moors where her picture book Go To Sleep! is set.
