Books with title Sherman the Sheep

This comforting poem for children ages 3 and up is based on the 23rd Psalm and explores the relationship between sheep and shepherds in simple terms. It highlights the special honor granted only to sheep. This understanding creates a gentle introduction to Jesus. Beautiful watercolor illustrations by Malinda Raines accompany the text. In addition there is a list of definitions for some of the words that can be used when questions indicate a desire to learn more.The 23rd Psalm was written by David, King of Israel. It is thought by many to be the most beautiful poem ever written. David's relationship with God was shaped by his understanding of the care a shepherd gives his flock, and he knew this so well because he had served as shepherd to his own father's sheep. What was well known to David, that sheep are defenseless and dependent, was universally understood at the time he wrote it but few of us today have first-hand knowledge of sheep. Because sheep have no means of defense, they are always nervous and fearful of attack by predators; the presence of a protective shepherd can meet their need and alleviate fear and worry. David lived one thousand years before Jesus yet he precisely described the role Jesus would fulfill as shepherd to mankind. Understanding this becomes a starting point on the journey toward understanding all of God's plan for us.

Sylvie wants to count the sheep so that she can finally fall asleep, but how can she if they won't stay still? Dancing, skating, swimming sheep--it's exhausting keeping up with them!"You're exasperating, Sylvie," her mother says. "I'm not trying to be exasperating, Mommy," Sylvie replies, "I just can't sleep!" "Why don't you try counting sheep?" her mom suggests. So Sylvie tries. She shuts her eyes and imagines hundreds and hundreds of sheep, all in a row. But no sooner have the sheep lined up than they start to jig! And jog. And rollerblade and scooter and skateboard. Straight to the beach, where they go swimming! After all this activity, the sheep start to nap. At last they're still! Now Sylvie can count them: "1, 2, 3, Zzzz" The sheep thought she'd never nod off!
