Counting Around the World

Count with the Herd illustration 1: Spike, Suzy and Little ThunderCount with the Herd illustration 2: Spike, Suzy and Little Thunder

"Let's count the ducks!" says Suzy.

"Un, deux, trois," says Paris the cow. That is French.

"Yi, er, san," says Beijing the cow. That is Mandarin.

"Moja, mbili, tatu," says Nairobi the cow. That is Swahili.

"Ichi, ni, san," says Tokyo the cow. That is Japanese.

Little Thunder counts too. "One, two, three!"

Spike looks again. "Wait. There is one more duck!"

"Four!" everyone says at once.

Quack, quack, quack, quack! Four happy ducks, and lots of ways to count them.
