Wendy Wahman.
"One snowboy all alone. / Two children unaware. / Three ancient apple trees. / Four apples in the air." The counting proceeds to ten and descends until readers are back with the solo snowboy. This is a nice-enough frolic with a built-in counting lesson. The digitally rendered animal-filled art is crisp to a fault: it could use some warmth.
