(4) PS Illustrated by Julia Gorton. "Ten rosy roses standing in a line, / Jan picks one and now there are nine." The counting poem is illustrated with bold paintings portraying a world of flat geometric shapes that contrast with the rounded, softer shapes of children and flowers. Although a final spread neatly extends the poem, showing the children giving all ten roses to their teacher, neither the art nor the text is especially compelling.
