Robin Spowart.
In this counting book, minimal rhymed text describes the imaginative wonders encountered by a little girl out for a walk. Beginning with one pig prancing and ending with ten llamas loving, each number represents a different set of animal antics. The story ends comfortably at home, and the simply composed and textured colored-pencil drawings contribute to the bucolic mood throughout.
