Various animals star in these nonsense rhymes about the numbers one through ten: "I watched five arrive / and saw them dive / off their hive / onto the drive. . . ." The computer-assisted illustrations bring the wacky, complicated elements of each rhyme together and add some humorous details of their own. The rhythms are bumpy, but kids might be inspired to come up with their own animal counting rhymes.
