This follow-up to counting book Stack the Cats introduces balance with adorably comical birds: two small birds on either side of a tree, five opposite an enormous owl, etc., and "Now the birds balance!" Subtly reinforcing the concept are smart uses of the gutter (to which the tree's center is aligned--or precariously unaligned) and background color (calm turquoise appears across the balanced spreads vs. bright, mismatched pages when unbalanced).

"One cat sleeps. / Two cats play. / Three cats? STACK!" In this silly concept book, a simple text counts cats up to ten, along the way introducing basic unit groupings ("Six cats prefer two stacks of three cats"). The dynamic, brightly colored illustrations distinguish the appearance and personality of each expressive, pear-shaped kitty, and the absurd cat-stacking premise makes for preschooler-perfect humor.
