Bookroo's summary

Numbers have escaped into the whimsical world of Mother Goose, dancing through familiar and lesser-known rhymes. With each page, counting becomes an adventure, from simple to complex. Can you catch them all in this vibrant, imaginative journey?

From the publisher

The numbers are on the loose–hiding and dancing, skipping and laughing through the rhymes of Mother Goose! It’s a good thing Caldecott Medal-winning artists Leo and Diane Dillon have helped gather up all these mischievous numbers in a stunning celebration 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. The illustrations are filled with surprising wit and whimsy. And this vibrant, playful volume is irresistible as an introduction to Mother Goose or as a new delight for her longtime fans.

Includes a note from the illustrators.
