a new twist on a counting book

We've really enjoyed this unique counting book. It's very simple and fun. We read it to our three year old and it holds his interest due to the vivid pictures of cowboys & cowgirls, horses, cattle, lassos, snakes, etc. It has the counting in Spanish and English on each page, i.e. una luna or one moon. Then, following the section on counting (one page for each number), it uses repetition to expand on the counting while creating a short, easy to understand storyline. I like that it's bilingual, easy, nice illustrations, and represents the "cowboy" life with both cowboys and cowgirls.
