One, two, buckle my shoe.Three, four, shut the door….Nine, ten, big fat hen! Now young children can enjoy a popular nursery rhyme and learn to count, too. Keith Baker’s delightful illustrations filled with eggs and chicks (and bugs) are sure to tickle little ones for hours of read-aloud fun. Baker uses an imaginative array of acrylic colors for his hens–greens, purples, and pinks to contrast with the warm, yellow straw background. There are lots of things to count, such as sticks, eggs, chicks, and hens.
