The Number of Stars

Noor has a problem remembering numbers. Whenever family members want Noor to get a specific number of a certain object, they link it to another object that reminds him of that number. When his mother tells him that her love for him is equal to the number of stars in the sky, he starts counting them, only to discover that the stars are infinite! This is an amusing story that introduces a technique that enhances children’s memory: linking visual images with concepts such as numbers. The story ends with a sweet message about motherly love.
