One Nighttime Sea


Beautiful collage illustrations led me to pick up this book. As I read through, I was delighted to find quality rhymes and a counting book. This is a counting book that starts at one with a "blue whale calf" and goes to ten with "ten turtle hatchlings" and restarts at ten and moves down to one again ending with a "brand-new seal pup." All the illustrations depict nighttime scenes in the sea. I love that this book gives further information on each animal at the end in order from one to ten then ten to one.
