Count Upon Your Friends

Written by Suzy Scudder and Illustrated by Anne Bamberg

This is a picture book about a young boy named Harry. He is afraid to climb the steep basement steps to go up to his bedroom. He and his mom make a game of it by placing one of his stuffed animals on each step and counting them along the way. Once Harry is safely off to bed, an enchanted escapade ensues, and in the morning, Harry and his mom are in for a big surprise!

NOTE:  The book also includes a QR code for a song that counts from 1-21 forward and backward, as well as a page of counting games.
