Why Count Sheep When We Can Count Race Cars

As a mother of two children, I believe that I am my child's first teacher. Counting race cars began as a way for me to introduce colors and numbers to my son in a way that I could teach him and make it fun at the same time. He really loved counting the race cars in the story for him and was able to identify his colors as a result of my reading this to him before bed. Once I realized how much my son enjoyed the story and how it helped him to identify his colors, I decided to publish my story. To this day, my son loves math and counting.
