Billy & Abigail's Counting Adventure

Look in the yard at the flowers and trees, Butterflies, bluebirds, and big bumblebees. Let's begin counting the things that we see. Here's a nest tucked away snug in a tree. ~page 1 and 2 As Billy and Abigail start to explore the yard they discover that counting can be rather fun. A dog and cat follow them around as they discover one egg, two fish, three apples, four squirrels, five acorns, six smooth rocks, seven roses in bloom, eight butterflies dancing in the air, nine worms and 10 chocolate-chip cookies. I don't know about anyone else reading this book, but I was rather please to see Billy and Abigail eating cookies and drinking juice. Their arms and legs are so skinny. While this stick arms/legs look gives them a whimsical look, I hope the illustrator will consider the message this might send to kids. The cat and dog looked rather well fed and are adorable. Otherwise, I loved the colors and art in this book and each time you look at the pages you see something new. There are scenes of brightly colored butterflies, red tablecloths and gardens with bird houses and white picket fences. Personally, I think the cat in this story really steals the show. Nice durable carboard-style pages with a wipe-clean coating. Also look for: Good Morning, Good Night Billy & Abigail ~The Rebecca Review
