Milo and the Slow Count – A Cozy Patience-Building Storybook for Ages 5–8 (Bedtime Ready)
Milo and the Slow Count follows a young mouse named Milo who finds it very hard to wait while Grandma bakes a fresh cheese pie. He runs around the kitchen, feels restless, and gets impatient. Grandma gently teaches him a simple “slow counting” trick to stay calm. Milo practices counting softly, feels more relaxed, and when the warm pie is finally ready, he enjoys it with pure delight.
Soft kitchen illustrations, warm lighting, and simple text make this perfect for ages 5–8.
