Product Description How many animals will you see? A whole lot more than ONE, TWO, THREE! A wacky crew of hippos, cats, pigs, and cows lead kids from a quiet One to a "LOUD LOUD LOUD" Ten-and back to quiet One again. From Boynton on Board, the bestselling series of extra-big, extra-fat, and extra-fun board books, here is One, Two, Three!, a counting book as only Sandra Boynton could do a counting book. Filled with her humorous, colorful drawings and lively text, One, Two, Three! is an adventure with numbers that kids and their parents will love. Main selection of the Children's Book-of-the-Month Club. Suitable for ages 1-4. From Publishers Weekly The popular illustrator and greeting-card artist brings oddball humor and plenty of sassy energy to Boynton on Board, a quartet of concept board books. Each volume features a die-cut front cover framing a picture of its ebullient cartoon stars. A zany sensibility gives an extra bounce to the otherwise conventional counting book One, Two, Three! A similar silliness suffuses Dinosaurs , which explores opposites. In Barnyard , farm animals dance a boisterous, breathless, knee-slapping reel called, with great panache, by a fiddle-playing cow: "Bow to the horse. / Bow to the cow. / Twirl with the pig if you know how." The rowdy crew in Monsters bursts in upon a mild-mannered hippo and makes "the mess that monsters make," but returns to make amends. Fresh and buoyant, these books are good, clean fun. Ages 1-4.

(Publishers Weekly) Amusing as ever, Boynton has created a counting book that shares the joys of friends (hippos, cats, pigs, cows and more) in groups as well as the pleasure of a solitary walk by one. The pictures are funny and the scenes are quite different from those found in the usual counting books. A treat for all. -- Marilyn Courtot, Children's Literature From the Publisher The Boynton Board books are compact treasures just right for little kids.
