(3) K-3 Illustrated by Sophie Fatus. Young readers count, review colors, and learn the names of animals and their young in this cumulative tale in which a boy acquires sixteen pets, starting with a clucking red hen. When he gets a guitar, all the animals dance together. The jovial illustrations feature the Aymara people of Chile. A CD of music accompanies the book and an author's note is appended.
