Illustrated by
Reg Cartwright.
"At the edge of the woods, the grass grows tall, / the daisies dance, and the blackbirds call." These woods are teeming with animals, counted from one to ten in a rhyming, hypnotic refrain. In a humorous final spread, all the animals quickly hide when a sleepy bear lumbers into their midst. Preschoolers can easily count the friendly looking stylized animals in the large, bold illustrations.
