Starting with a smiling cat standing next to a 1, Gyo Fujikawa's charming counting book features a host of irresistible creatures illustrating numbers up to 10. Each picture includes both the numeral and the written-out word for the number, along with adorable animals-a ballerina monkey, a sailor-suited goat, a golden chick in her bonnet-dressed in their finery and ready to play.
Can children count? With this book, yes they can!





Gyo Fujikawa (1908-1999) made a career in the advertising world and also enjoyed a lengthy stint at the Walt Disney Studios where she designed the large book version of Fantasia. In 1957, she illustrated her first picture book, A Child's Garden of Verses. Many others followed, some of which she also wrote. Babies, published in 1963, stands as a landmark: it was the first children's book to depict infants of all races and nations sharing growing experiences. Fujikawa's books have been translated into 17 languages and are read in more than 22 countries.
