How Many Cats?

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Robin Eley. Twenty kitties "skipping, scamping!...verving, vamping!" make their way through this counting book. Cats arrive and depart in groups of varying sizes, drawing on readers' addition and subtraction skills; on some spreads the cats are drawn in configurations that touch on multiplication: "Twelve fine cats in three lines of four." The illustrations have a slightly static quality, but each of the cats is unique.
