Slightly surreal. ?áMore like a quiz or puzzle than a counting book because the numbers are not given on each page. ?áI like that it goes up to 22. ?áI also like the end, in which we learn that sheep who cannot sleep can also count sheep to help them sleep....

And now I've read both the

Spanish and English versions. ?áTyvm, CLAN, for making this difficult for me. ?áAh well.

I definitely want to read more by the artist.

While waiting for a chance to order the English version, my son and I deciphered the Spanish version. Both of us have had two years of high school Spanish and still found this very difficult. It seems rather surreal - not just silly or cute. But we did enjoy it.
