Praise For…
"This delightfully silly counting book is sure to leave children laughing wherever it is read aloud."—Carolyn Phelan, Booklist (Starred)
"Catnip for teachers or anyone leading a storytime and sure to tickle kids."—Kirkus (Starred)
Via shape-driven characters and washes of bright color, illustrations by Hunt (the Little People, Big Dreams series) exude a mid-century modern playfulness. But what drives the book forward is the comic gold of an authority figure gone wild: “What?! Did you think you would learn to count to big numbers like a HUNDRED?! WELL, NO!” —Publishers Weekly
This amusing book has a unique concept: readers are asked to only count ONE of each image on the page. . . The wonderfully entertaining artwork makes all of the animals look goofily funny, and the text addresses the reader directly, making them pretty much have to count everything.—Stephanie Tournas, Youth Services Book Review
This book is ONE part counting book, ONE part search-and-find and ONE part silliness. I can totally see this being a book that grows with little ones, from early counting days to well beyond, but one thing is for sure: you'll be giggling no matter what age you are!—Tildy Lutts, Belmont Books
