Synopsis

“One, two, buckle my shoe. Three, four, shut the door. . . . Nine, ten, big fat hen!” “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. A fine choice for toddler story hours.”—School Library Journal

Join Big Fat Hen and all her friends and their chicks as they count to ten using the classic counting nursery rhyme.

Publishers Weekly

Newly hatched chicks star in an ebullient version of One, Two, Buckle My Shoe. In a starred review, PW said that Bakers bold outlines, plump figures and vibrant acrylics add up to an especially appealing counting primer. Ages 2-6. (Apr.)
