Illustrated by
Dan Yaccarino.
For one little girl, a jaunt on the New York subway is a great opportunity to count from one ("1 MetroCard") to ten ("10 friends sway, boogie and bop...") and back down again. The pleasantly rhyming and nicely cadenced text is full of the sights and sounds of a (sanitized) subway ride. Yaccarino's graphically dynamic, crayon-box-colorful illustrations feature cheery retro-looking passengers.
