He's had three drinks of water from his dad, six hugs and four good-nights from Mum, but even so, sleep won't come. His dad tells him to count sheep, but it turns out that counting sheep is just the beginning counting pythons and pirates, vampire bats and ghosts is a lot more fun! Readers are led on a wild and woolly counting adventure that goes all the way up to a hundred.
