Mouse
Count, Author Ellen Stoll Walsh | Available in Spanish: Cuenta
ratones
Type: Counting Book Level: Preschool-K
A hungry and sneaky snake takes juicy, warm, tasty and sleepy mice and counts them one to
ten into a jar.
Thankfully, one mouse wakes up, and tricks the snake, who leaves
momentarily. The mice rock the jar from side to side to escape the
greedy snake. As they escape the jar, they uncounted themselves.
... Fun way to count!!
