PS
When Mama Rabbit announces her plans to make vegetable soup, her ten children--each wearing a different color--gather ingredients: one purple cabbage, two white onions, etc. The book's color and number concepts are reinforced in multiple ways through words and pictures. Best of all, with its engaging characters and rich language, the book can be read just for the fun of it.
