In this bilingual edition of I Went Walking, the simple, repetitive text and bold illustrations make this guessing-game concept book (a child goes for a walk and collects a procession of colorful animals) work perfectly in a lap-size board book format. The text finds its own natural rhythm in Spanish. An excellent choice for early literacy efforts with Spanish-speaking toddlers.

Six frolicking rabbits don't notice a hungry fox prowling until he's upon them. As the number of the rabbits (and the onlooking sheep, ducks, and mice) dwindle one by one, the fox keeps trying to pounce. Although it is not clear at first if the rabbits have been eaten, their safe return home is revealed at the end. Expressive watercolors, showing a fierce fox, illustrate this counting book.

In this simple, repetitive counting rhyme--just right for toddlers--a child and a dog go visiting, gathering a cheerful parade of baby animals along the way: one brown foal, two red calves, three black kittens, four pink piglets, five green ducklings, and six yellow puppies. After cavorting across the spacious white pages, everyone settles down for a nap in the hay.
