Rob Scotton, Go to Sleep, Russell the Sheep

HarperCollins, 9780007246199 | Suggested age range: 3-5

When Russell the sheep can't sleep he does the obvious thing - he counts sheep. But there's one sheep he keeps leaving out. What should he do about himself? At last, Russell gets the hang of it. Ten sheep counted and zzzzzz, Russell falls fast asleep. He's a most endearing sheep and helping him count himself to sleep is good fun - and a good joke, too.
