A Number of Animals

Striking visuals and a simple but compelling story line make A Number of Animals a counting book that is as delightful as it is effective. Illustrator Christopher Wormell is at his best with bold block prints that manage to convey the movement and emotions of an assortment of farm animals. Kate Green's light and inviting text, meanwhile, shepherds readers along on one little bird's barnyard journey in this reissued classic.
