From the publisher
It’s time for the Lumpkin family reunion, and Uncle Howie is ready with his camera. All the cousins have to line up by age for their picture, and they all have to say, “One…two…three…sassafras!” But something goes wrong every time. First Sally runs off to look for Bonzo. Then David pushes Briana, and Briana pokes David, and … “Great galloping gillywhoppers!” says Uncle Howie. Will these cousins ever get in line for their picture? This picture-perfect tale of family fun illustrates the important math concept of number order.
