Let's Count Goats!

Summary: The author introduces you to all different kinds of goats and then on certain pages, challenges the reader to count the goats.
Review: Unlike other counting books that explicitly use the numbers one through ten, this clever book simply asks the reader, "Can you count the goats?" For my son, this trick worked like a charm and he enthusiastically counts all the goats on each page. This is a winner for me as a Mom. My son especially likes the illustrations because the goats are often eating random objects and are doing silly things like playing a trumpet the wrong way. The only problem we had was that on the last round of counting, we were asked to count the goat ears and he started to include the horns as well. Even though he is well beyond counting from one to ten we have read this book dozens of times.
