You can count on Gyo Fujikawa to create adorable babies - and this rhyming counting book has ten little ones to start the fun! All together the toddlers enjoy their bottles; then one throws his away, leaving nine. Naptime's next, as the group snuggles peacefully into a soft cloud - but a wide-eyed child starts to play and now we've got eight. The playful activity continues as the tots get sticky with marmalade, get up to some naughty tricks, bang on the floor and more. Page by page, the countdown continues until: One little baby, alone having fun. He became a grownup and then there were NONE!

Gyo Fujikawa (1908-1999) made a career in the advertising world and also enjoyed a lengthy stint at the Walt Disney Studios where she designed the large book version of Fantasia. In 1957, she illustrated her first picture book, A Child's Garden of Verses. Many others followed, some of which she also wrote. Babies, published in 1963, stands as a landmark: it was the first children's book to depict infants of all races and nations sharing growing experiences.
