A boy throws a ball for the puppy to fetch. It bounces past two brown cows, three green frogs, four pink pigs, and keeps right on going around the farm, taking the reader with it, all the way back to where it started. A circuitous romp with cumulative text and beautifully rendered illustrations, introducing animals, counting, and colors.
Charming illustrations are filled with expressive animals in motion…A large trim size and double-page-spread format make this a fine choice for reading aloud to a group, but the opportunity to count up all those adorable animals will reward perusal by lapsitters as well. This little pup knows how to stand up and be counted.
The cute, expressive animals and their antics and interactions are sure to amuse and engage younger ones on multiple levels, including as fun
read-aloud.
