It's a good thing Caldecott Medal winning artists Leo and Diane Dillon have helped gather up all these mischievous numbers in a stunning collection of counting, rhymes and imagination.The rhymes, both familiar and lesser known, are ordered from simple (1,2,3) to more complex numbers, making this a collection to grow with. And this vibrant, playful volume is irresistible as an introduction to Mother Goose or as a new delight for her longtime fans.
