About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to feel bored with standard counting drills or needs a spark of imagination to make math feel like play. Percival Everett offers a surreal, witty adventure where numbers are not just symbols on a page, but wild creatures that need to be herded across the plains of the Old West. It turns a basic concept book into a cinematic tall tale that encourages abstract thinking and a sense of humor. While the book reinforces number recognition, its true value lies in how it models creative problem-solving and perseverance through its zany cowboy protagonists. It is perfect for children aged 4 to 8 who enjoy slapstick comedy and stories that break the rules. By the end, your child will see math as a living, breathing adventure rather than a chore.
