About the Book

Imagine learning to count from the goddess of wisdom herself, playing with the unexpectedly adorable dogs of war, or flying through the air in Apollo’s chariot!  Count Olympus transports your child into the magical world of the gods and goddesses of ancient Greece.  Meet mighty Zeus with one lightning bolt; become enchanted by the lovely Aphrodite and her two doves; and take a swim with Poseidon and his three dolphins.  Count Olympus blends Greek mythology with essential counting skills so that active young minds can begin a lifelong fascination with the intriguing inhabitants of Mount Olympus.  Your charming guide throughout your visit is Alexander the Mouse, who is hiding on every page.  Can your child find him before you do?
