In this interpretation of the traditional nursery rhyme, a bunny and a hen prepare a party for their pig friends. On each spread, "4 naughty little chicks" hide away, giving young children a chance to practice counting as they linger over the large illustrations, full of bright colors and thick brush strokes. A "funny surprise" ending adds a dash of gentle humor to the lively counting book.
