With cut-paper illustrations adding charm, this story invites young readers to explore the fun of counting and categorizing, leading to a surprising and tidy conclusion.

But the penguin also belongs in the things with wings pile. He can make a pile of rocks. But the round rock also belongs in the round things pile. How will he ever sort his 100 things? Marthe Jocelyn takes a fun look at categories and counting in this very cleverly conceived story.
