There are many ways to count. We can count
the clouds while lying in the grass;
sitting next to a friend we can count the ants
that crawl out of the anthill, we can count
the poppies while walking through a field?
or we can tell a story as we count the characters
that appear? But, when we reach twelve,
the moon comes out, we all have to go to bed,
and the count-down begins!
A story to be read out loud built
upon the characters that enter and exit.
A story with many possibilities
and for multiple readings.
