One, Two, Three!

This board book full of dancing hippos, athletic pigs, and running chickens is a humorous counting story. The rhyming text is short, but funny and gives the reader a bit more to talk about than many counting books for this age group

Boynton’s signature illustration style is in fine form here as her anthropomorphic animals cavort through the pages. The animals change from page to page, so you won’t be counting the same things from 1 to 10. Kids will also be familiar with her characters as they can be seen in many of her other books.

Good rhythm for reading, with lots of sweet moments. This might be a good read-aloud for a group, especially with the loud bits. ( )

Boynton writes a silly rhyme around counting from one to ten.

This is classic Boynton. Very fun, perfect for the 2-to-3-yr-old, who might memorize it, and will be sure to scream "Ten makes a celebration Loud! Loud! Loud!" And, have no fears, it's very unlikely this will actually help them learn them count. ( )

This is a counting book, so, if you know how to count, you know the drill.

It's a lot funnier than most counting books and, bonus, pretty durable.

I really recommend this book to anybody who has not yet (shock! horror!) bought anything by Boynton. Those who *have* don't need *my* advice anymore, do they? ( )

This is a nice simple counting book for toddlers and preschoolers, with hippos doing funny things: ballet dancing, going for a drive, putting on a play. A good board book for little kids, though not one of our top favourites. ( )
