How Many Donkeys?: An Arabic Counting Tale

32 pp. | Whitman | September, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-3424-3 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Carol Liddiment. In this story starring an Arabic folk character, Jouha the wise fool is always losing one of ten donkeys (the one that he's riding!). Numbers in Arabic from wahid (one) to ashara (ten) run along the bottom of the pages, allowing readers to chime in as Jouha searches for his animals. Desert-hued illustrations show details of traditional Middle Eastern life.
