Thomas can't sleep. Tomorrow's geography test hangs heavily over him and keeps him awake. Finally he remembers his mother telling him to count sheep to fall asleep.

Thomas conjures up so many sheep that he does not have room for them all. So he sends them on an exciting journey around the globe! As they explore the world, they get into all kinds of mischief and help Thomas learn geography at the same time.

Lots of fun awaits them at every stop because these are no ordinary animals! They kayak in Kenya, juggle in Japan, and unicycle in the United States as they travel the globe from A to Z in this alphabet book adventure.

Now Thomas knows geography, thanks to his friends, and you can too! Join Thomas and his sheep on their voyage around the world!
