Introduce children to numbers 1 to 100! Granny's beloved goats follow her wherever she goes - to the tailor, to the salon, and on the bus. They are VERY cheeky, and even steal the aunties' panties! In the yard at home and then through the bustling market the children help Granny to keep count of them all until... Oh wait! Oh no! Where did goat 100 go?
