Clay figures from Oaxaca, Mexico, are the focus of this bilingual counting book. Each brightly colored double-page spread features a spelled-out number on the left and a corresponding number of festive figures on the right. From one man with a balloon to ten spectators, the cheery scenes are meant to recall Oaxaca's Guelaguetza festival. The text is forced, but the lively design is appealing.
