Here comes a boy, that is 1. Next comes a girl, that together makes 2. A lady joins the two, which makes them 3. Then comes a dog! How many will they make? Creatures great and small — and even a vegetable - all come together to help children learn to count 1 to 10 and to recognize numbers. Young readers will be eager to see who comes next and what number they are. The last page, of course, is the most surprising and fun to all. Artist Amy Matsushita—Beal presents a simple and delightful counting book of diverse characters. The whimsical details on each character add another layer of playfulness for young children.
