Cool Cats Counting — Sherry Shahan

Add some flare to your counting lessons with Cool Cats Counting.

Donkeys lined up to dance the merengue? Rats in bolero hats? Pigs salsa dancing? And how cool are those cats anyway? Sherry Shahan and Paula Barragán, the collaborators behind the highly acclaimed Spicy Hot Colors, team up in a burst of color and rhythm to introduce young readers to animals and numbers in English and Spanish.

Readers can learn a new language while also learning their numbers, all while being thoroughly engaged thanks to Barragán's beautiful illustrations. With bold colors and simplistic lines, each number presents a crazy and fun new animal.

Shahan's poetic riffs suggest a variety of rhythms and dances, and Barragán's multimedia illustrations outfit the animals in vibrant costumes any diva would envy! This rhythmic, Spanish folktale from Latin America is sure to make readers boogie while also learning how to count with numbers.
