Dog loves books - Dog loves drawing - Dog loves counting - Dog loves fairy tales by Yates_ Louise
4 stories about a white puppy. Because he loves book so much he opens his own book store.
Next book is about the white puppy who gets a blank book-a book for drawing. His sketches comes to live.
Next is about counting sheep, and he finds numbers in everything he does...
Next his life is in a fairy tale...
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

This book goes through counting from 1 to 10 and then 10 back down to 1 again. Dog can't fall asleep counting sheep, so he decides to look for other creatures he can count in his books. For example, he counts the three toes on a sloth, the four legs on a camel, etc. The illustrations in this one were great!

The pictures were lovely, but the story's flow felt unnatural to me.

We're back with the same book-loving dog from the previous book, and this time, he's having some insomnia troubles. Counting sheep isn't helping him get to sleep, so he tries counting other animals while using his books as inspiration.

This is definitely a great book for book lovers, and it's a fairly clever way of reinforcing and strengthening a child's ability to count.
