Spots Counting Creatures From Sky to Sea

Attractive book, children are invited to count a variety of creatures with spots.

Each two-page spread features an oil- and-gouache painting of an animal (or group of the same animals) with a few words describing it on the verso and the creature's name and a number from 1 to 10 on the recto, e.g., "Slinking, prowling, hunting spots...two sleek jaguars." While the pictures and text complement one another beautifully, the art is the real scene-stealer here.

Spectacular double-page paintings present the animal(s) in dramatic detail, demanding repeated viewings.
