A small counting book, only five inches square, contains a great deal of fun as one small house fills up with animals, children, and monsters while readers count up to ten and down again. Jahn-Clough's bright primary colors and primitive style give a childlike feel to the celebration. The playful ending--instead of leaving the empty house alone, two children make it their home--reinforces the tone.
