Product Description
Introducing numbers, this rocking, rhyming book will delight and engage youngsters as they join in the fun. Adorable mixed-media pictures accompany the lively chant. One hundred and one numbers climb an apple tree in this bright counting book for young readers. As the numerals pile up and bumblebees threaten, what's the number that saves the day? (Hint: It rhymes with "hero.") Children read and count and play to learn the answer. BOOK REVIEW: A counting-book companion to Martin and Ehlert's Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom. The cut-paper art is almost identical to the earlier work, right down to the use of vibrant splashes of color. The layout will also be familiar to that title's many fans. At the center of the story this time, however, is an apple tree. Numerals race to the top with 1, 2, and 3 leading the way. Next come 4, 5, and 6 climbing right behind, but "Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3. Will there be a place for me?" asks 0. Page after page, the numbers climb: "Hot pink 12, lucky 13, picking apples, red and green." They all forget 0 down in the lower right-hand corner. They keep going "until at last there's 99, and all the numbers are feeling fine." Except for 0, that is, who begins to cry once again, "Chicka Chicka 1, 2, 3. Will there be a place for me?" And, at precisely that moment, a swarm of bumblebees arrives shouting, "GET OUT OF OUR TREE." Alas, the counting begins anew, this time backward. And 0, no bad apple, finally discovers his life's calling and rightful place at the very top of the tree next to 10, who had stayed there all along, becoming 100.
