Illustrated by
Stephen Gilpin.
"One lonely snowman has a carrot nose. / Two other snowmen join him when it snows. / 1+2=3." In the ensuing spreads, the number of snowmen climbs ("9+10=19") and then drops until the combined tally is, as the title promises, one hundred ("1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1=100"). This painless lesson in simple addition is bolstered by engaging illustrations of snowmen in berets, peacoats, and more.
