Swallow the Leader: A Counting Book

32 pp. | Clarion | September, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-544-10518-8 $16.99
(3) PS Illustrated by Kevin Sherry. An underwater exploration with a read-aloud-perfect counting rhyme nearly turns deadly when a school of fish playing follow-the-leader encounters the top of their food chain; one by one the shark eats ten fish until a "BURRRP!" brings them all back. Bright, playful illustrations--created in layers using watercolor backgrounds, paper cutouts, and paint on acetate sheets--match the book's silly tone.
