What do you do if you can't sleep? Count sheep! That's what the restless hero of this rollicking tale does. And when sheep don't work, he counts kangaroos by twos and monkeys by threes. But when he gets to bees by fours, the animals run amok! Then it's a countdown to dream time. With energetic, bright illustrations and rhythmic text, this is a great introduction to the idea of counting by sets, a precursor to multiplication.
Counting Sheep Reviews
-
I really like how simple this book is and how it helps reinforce counting by ones, twos, threes and fours in a memorable poetic story form. It would be easy to learn and recite each page. Although I'd probably do it along side a counting wheel...so kids can also get a visual of counting those ways too...not just rote memorization.

A whimsical and wonderfully creative way for children to learn their numbers by counting sheep, monkeys, bees, and kangaroos.
