The book's preface introduces readers to The Count, who loves this book because it is filled with so many wonderful things to count. Each story is followed by a full page illustration of The Count counting various items and inviting the reader to do likewise.
* As a cowboy, The Count rides and counts one horse.
* The Count as a parachuter counts two airplanes.
* The Count counts three adorable birdies while sitting in their nest.
* The Count, dressed as an Eskimo, counts four sled dogs.
* The Count as a chef flips and counts five delicious pancakes.
* The Count hangs upside down from a tree branch and counts six monkeys.
* The Count, disguised as a scarecrow, counts seven crows.
* The Count, dressed in scuba gear, counts eight octopus arms.
* The Count as an astronaut counts nine flying saucers.
* As a ringmaster, The Count counts ten elephants at the circus. (Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Kermit Love and Michael Frith make illustrated cameos.)
