Illustrated by
Mary Azarian.
Attractive hand-colored woodprints illustrate this counting rhyme. As barn cat watches, increasing numbers of insects, birds, and other animals gambol around the farm. In the corner of appropriate illustrations, a numeral from one to ten is displayed, but emphasis on the numbers isn't strong enough to make this an effective counting book. A few inconsistencies in meter make reading the verse aloud awkward at times.
