Illustrated by
Matthew Myers.
After his humorous efforts to learn the alphabet (A Is for Musk Ox), Musk Ox takes on counting. Unhappy that he's alone on the "one musk ox" page (even though he wanted to go first), Musk Ox barges onto other pages, messing up the counting lesson. This anti-counting book will elicit plenty of guffaws, and Myers's heavy shapes suit the musk ox's forceful personality.
