(4) K-3 Illustrated by Nina Cuneo. Clarissa can't sleep so she begins counting sheep...then alpacas (by twos), llamas (by fives), and yaks (by tens). Soon Clarissa's bedroom overflows with woolly animals; she unwinds their wool, subtracting them as she goes and ending up with a huge ball of yarn--perfect for knitting a cozy afghan. Although the cheerful, pattern-filled illustrations have appeal, the text introduces an ambitious number of concepts.
