2019 Festival: Mathical Reading with Judy Cox: “Sheep Won’t Sleep”

Judy Cox reads her award-winning book, Sheep Won’t Sleep: Counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s (opens new window). In this whimsical counting book, Clarissa’s eyes snap open when ten of the sheep she was counting to fall asleep have appeared in her bedroom. She then counts alpacas by twos, llamas by fives, and yaks by tens, until her bedroom has overflowed with animals making her situation more and more ridiculous. Could the key to Clarissa’s dilemma lie in subtraction?
