    80's children's books
    I have been trying to find a book from my childhood... Cannot remember a lot so here goes... story was possibly about a boy who could not sleep who had a sheep and another animal as a friend. I believe this was an audiobook and you could buy the soft toys also. There was also a song which went along the lines of 'can't never will and quiters never win' The boy counted sheep when trying to sleep but his friend sheep couldn't jump?? Hence the quitters song... Any help would be really appreciated. I have spent many hours on eBay, Google, Amazon looking for this with no luck :(

    I have also been trying to find this as it was a favourite of my sisters in the 80's.
    The sheep was called Lacy and the song went along the lines of "Can't never could and quitters never win". Eventually the little boy falls asleep and I'm sure there's a song at the end of the tape about dreams. That's all I can remember. Sorry!

    If I ever find it, I'll get back to you.

    I looked for these forever and finally gave up. I got on a mission today and found it. It was part of the Land of Pleasant Dreams series published by World of Wonder in 1986. This one was A Fence Too High. Unfortunately, the cheapest I have found it on Amazon is $60.

    Check with your local library's reference department. It's at a few libraries in the US and should be (might be?) available through interlibrary loan.

    OH MY GOD! I could actually hug you! You are amazing, thank you so much! I had just about given up trying to find this, you are an angel. I didn't know it was part of a series of stories and that there were other animals too. Plus I didn't know it was a TV series too, I found some of them on YouTube, my sister will freak when she sees it. Thanks very much for all your help! Love, Margaret xxx
