Raise your kids the right way!
The Ramones way!
This is a fun little book for little kids who are learning to count which features Johnny Ramone counting things he liked, such as comic books, monsters, and baseball. Drop the needle on a Ramones album and read this with your kids!
There *really* should be a Learning to Count 1-2-3-4 with Dee Dee Ramone. It was his super fast 1-2-3-4 which started off every Ramones song (and after Dee Dee left, CJ), but I'm a big supporter of the Ramones legacy, so anything that keeps their memories alive is okay by me.
