Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
The text of this cumulative counting book seems to describe animals engaged in normal activities, but the illustrations suggest otherwise. PW noted, "Though Brooks has a clever concept, ultimately it is Kellogg's exuberantly imagined art, nimbly rendered, that counts most." Ages 3-6. (Aug.)
Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1?A magical frog transports young readers to a world of imaginative wonder where 2 ducks dive off diving boards, 3 elephants play trumpets, etc., all the way to 12 whales blowing soap bubbles. Enjoying the antics are a young girl and boy who pull the numbers and animals from a tall black hat and finally declare, "Whales don't blow soap bubbles!" As readers count backwards, the little frog begins to devour all the props with each descending number, and grows and grows until he spans a two-page spread. He then leaps into the atmosphere and announces, "But frogs jump...any way they want!" Not only are numbers from 1-12 brought to life, but words with double meanings describe the creatures' zany activities. Eight monkeys don't swing from trees, but rather swing golf clubs. Similarly, nine spiders spin not a web, but from an amusement airplane ride. Kellogg's watercolor illustrations are masterful. They enliven the text and perfectly capture the humor. The oversized format allows children to examine the minute details of each picture and find the predictable clues for the next number. A creative book of counting and conjuring.?Patricia Mahoney Brown, Benjamin Franklin Elementary School, Kenmore, NY
