"When Sheep Cannot Sleep" book by Satoshi Kitamura

This is a unique counting book. The story is about a sheep that just cannot sleep. He goes about the countryside finding more and more things to count. On the first few pages, the story says how many things he sees, but as the number grows it is up to the reader to find the number on the page since it is not specifically mentioned.
