A dad lovingly puts his daughter to bed by soothingly counting the
things in her room backward from ten. By the time they reach the number
one the child has been securely lulled off to sleep. Lovely
bedtime time book, it is also a wonderful introduction to numbers as
each page has a large number in the left corner and large pictures
giving the child an opportunity to count the objects.
Written and illustrated by the author of such books as The Paper
Crane and Goose the vibrant colors have proven to be a
children's favorite.
