Description

The character from The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate helps animals big and small in this second book in a chapter book series by a Newbery Honor author. When Callie and Granddaddy go exploring by the river, Callie discovers a leaf covered with spots. Those spots, it turns out, are eggs, and those eggs become butterflies. One of her newly hatched butterflies has a problem, though--its wing is broken. Can Callie find a way to help this butterfly fly?

Mother's prize sheep, Snow White, is pregnant and about to give birth. With Dr. Pritzker off helping a colicky horse, it falls to Callie to deliver the lamb. Callie takes the situation in hand, bringing the lamb into the world--and getting her fair due from Mother! Counting Sheep is the second book in the Calpurnia Tate, Girl Vet chapter book series from Jacqueline Kelly.
