Pretty cool! Cool, huh? Okay, story time.

Today we are going to read Sleepy Sheepy and the Sheepover by Lucy Ruth Cummings. It was finally the big day, or rather the big night. It was time for Sleepy Sheepie's very first sheepover. Sleepy sheepy packed and stacked. He fluffed and he stuffed. He had everything he would need and a few more things too, just in case. When they got to Grammy Sheepie and Grampy Sheepies, Sleepy Sheepie was over the moon. His two favorite folks, all to himself.

Would they watch an old movie? Would he stay up so late? Sleepy Sheepy was thrilled for his very first all-night play date. But when Ma Sheepie and Pa Sheepie said goodbye and good night, Sleepy sheepy felt quite bad. Matter, my little curly-whirley? What's worrying you, my tough little fluff? But Sleepy Sheepy didn't quite know.

Everything felt different, not quite right. Sleepy Sheepy didn't know if he'd make it, even just for one night. For one, the blanket scratched and his PJs didn't match. He loved his Grammy and his grampy so, but his tummy got twisty, and his eyes got misty. Sleepy, sheepy missed his home. Sleepy Sheepy could not sleep. But then Grampy knew just what to do. And Grammy did too.

So they tucked him in quite tight, which always felt just right. And before he knew it,

Sleepy Sheepy felt right at home. The end. Don't forget to stick around to see if you can answer today's paying attention question. you go.
