Mike Gordon.
Thanks to their ingenuity, Mrs. Connor's first-grade students discover how to quickly count to ten in Counting. In Pumpkin, the class goes to a pumpkin patch where Katie's search for the perfect pumpkin leaves her unsure of her choice--until her dad saves the day. Cartoonlike drawings add a touch of whimsy to texts that feature word repetition, simple sentences, and familiar words and phrases.
