HERE IS ONE BIG BOOK OF FUN. BEFORE YOU'RE DONE YOU'LL LAUGH A TON! Award-winning author Judi Barrett and illustrator Daniel Moreton invite young readers to think of numbers, counting, and rhyming in a whole new way. A Few Words From the Author: I've always wanted to create a different kind of counting book. I love playing with words, rhyming them, making jokes with them, and playing with their sounds. I had such a good time writing I Knew Two Who Said Moo. I started with the sound of each number, and then thought of other words with similar sounds that I could use to create these nonsense rhymes that do make sense -- in a silly way! Writing this book made me laugh. I hope it makes you laugh too! Your friend, JUDI BARRETT

WHEN YOU LOOK THROUGH THIS BOOK YOU'LL LEARN TO COUNT AN AMOUNT AND TO RHYME ANYTIME... Join popular children's author Judi Barrett for a rollicking romp through numbers one to ten. Each number is accompanied by a nonsensical verse built on words that rhyme with the number itself, and serves as a perfect springboard for Daniel Moreton's detailed and zany artwork. Young readers won't rest until they find each number and rhyme in brightly colored illustrations that bring together the most unlikely collection of creatures and things. Here's a book that steretches a child's imagination while bringing numbers, counting, and the concept of rhyming together in a playful, informative way.
