Category: Counting

Counting becomes part of the story in this collection instead of a separate exercise. Five friends build a plan to reach a pear, ten monkeys bounce awake one by one, sheep cross a moonlit river and squirrels gather food before winter. Repetition gives children room to join in, while each plot still leads somewhere: toward sharing, helping, preparing or finally going to sleep.

Nibbles and Skippy

Careful Nibbles gathers nuts while playful Skippy dances through autumn. When winter snow arrives, the squirrel brothers learn that work, play, forgiveness, and sharing all belong in the same cozy hollow.

Five Little Friends

A tiger, a bear, a hippo, a kitten and a monkey spot a pear that none of them can reach alone. Count from one to five as the friends work together and share the fruit. This short counting bedtime story ends with all five curled up and ready for sleep.
