Wooly the sheep can't sleep, so he embarks on a nighttime stroll that turns into a series of misadventures. As Wooly wanders, he stumbles into various situations, each more chaotic than the last. Children will delight in counting the objects Wooly encounters along the way. Will Wooly ever find his way back to peaceful slumber, or will his restless night continue to unravel? Join Wooly on this whimsical journey and discover the surprises that await in the moonlit world.

"One night a sheep called Woolly could not sleep. 'I'll go for a walk,' he said, and wandered off down the meadow."
