About This Book
Reach for this book when your little one is feeling restless at bedtime or needs a gentle, imaginative way to reinforce early numeracy. It is a perfect choice for children who are transitioning from simple rote counting to a deeper appreciation for the magic of stories. This charming tale follows Dog, a book-loving character who cannot fall asleep and decides to count the animals he meets in his books instead of just sheep. The story is a celebration of curiosity and the soothing power of imagination. As Dog journeys through different landscapes, from colorful jungles to the vast arctic, the emotional tone remains calm and steady, modeling patience and wonder. Designed for toddlers and preschoolers, it offers a dual benefit: it practices numbers one through ten while providing a cozy, comforting ritual that settles the mind for sleep.
