Illustrated by
Stacey Schuett.
In this rhyming counting book, a girl lists an assortment of nighttime lights, from TV sets to raccoon eyes. She counts one by one up to twenty and then skips to fifty. The last three groupings--one hundred, one thousand, and one million--aren't meant to be counted; instead, Schuett's textured, painterly depictions of lightning, fireworks, and stars show multitudes in an eye-catching finale.
