Synopsis

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.

From the Inside Flap

Reviews

Gr. 1. "I cannot sleep," says a little boy, so he counts 5 sheep 1 by 1. Soon 10 kangaroos enter his room. He counts them, too--2 by 2. His room expands to include the outside world, where 15 cheerful monkeys appear 3 by 3. Finally, 20 bees fly by in rows of 4. When he asks the bees to go away, all the animals leave, and he counts each group down until there are zero monkeys, kangaroos, sheep, and bees. From the Step into Reading + Math series, this book offers practice in counting by sets of numbers, as well as a very simple text. Wohnoutka's illustrations, pleasing paintings that ably balance fantasy and humor, group the animals cleverly for ease in counting. Good fun as well as good practice for math and reading skills.
