Description

Nightgown Countdown
eBook/PDF

Written by Frank B. Edwards
Illustrated by John Bianchi

After the farmer climbs into bed for the night, her animals leave their stalls for an late night frolic but predictably they drop out of the fun one by one until only the rooster is left. Features rhyming text and a classic counting backwards pattern.

“Six farm animals hopping around the hive.

“Goat bumped a bee, then there were five.”

The story takes the reader on a playful romp through numbers from 1 to 10 — ending with a rooster all by himself as the sun rises to start a new day.

From the farmer in her nightgown to the menagerie of cartoon beasts, John Bianchi offers up his usual cartoon fun to accompany the rhymes and rhythm of his story for beginning readers.

This ebook is in PDF format so that teachers and parents can easily use smart phones, computers and projectors to engage young readers.

The $1 price ensures it is easily affordable and that illicit sharing is unnecessary. (After all, the author and illustrator need to buy groceries too.) Please direct other teachers and parents to  Pokeweed’s online store to buy their own copies. Thank you.
