Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Dog Loves Counting
Louise Yates · 2013
80/100
👍 Worth It
Louise Yates found a genuinely clever angle on the counting book — instead of just listing numbers, she grounds each one in a real animal characteristic, so kids are actually noticing the world rather than just reciting. The warm illustrations and beloved Dog character make it an ideal bedtime read that sneaks math in without feeling like homework. A small gem for the preschool shelf.
