Counting Ovejas

Reach for this book when your child is feeling restless at bedtime or when their mind is racing with too many thoughts to settle down. While many bedtime books aim for a quiet, hushed tone, this story acknowledges the high energy and occasional frustration that comes with trying to force sleep when the brain has other ideas. It provides a playful outlet for that nighttime nervous energy through humor and vibrant imagery. As the protagonist attempts the classic trick of counting sheep, he find himself overwhelmed by a growing crowd of colorful, chaotic ovejas (sheep) in his bedroom. The story uses a bilingual English and Spanish framework to introduce basic numbers and colors, making it an excellent choice for families looking to integrate language learning into daily routines. It is perfectly suited for children aged 2 to 6 who enjoy silly, absurdist situations and need a way to laugh through the common struggle of falling asleep.
