My Granny Went to Market: A Round-the-World Counting Rhyme

(4) PS Illustrated by Christopher Corr. Naive gouache paintings with jewel-like colors show Granny traveling by magic carpet (her first purchase in Turkey), buying two cats in Thailand, three Mexican masks, four Chinese lanterns, five Swiss cowbells, and so on until she buys ten Peruvian llamas. The rhyming text is trite, but the attractive pictures will draw children back to look for the objects.
