"One is me, Katie. Here I am, all by myself." Chatting amiably about everyday topics such as family, friends, and pets, a young girl counts from one to ten and then mentions some items that "are too many to count" (e.g., raindrops). Hughes fills the pages with a variety of realistic-looking people, taking care to make the figures distinctive in physical appearance and clothing, right down to the baggy tights.
