› Find signed collectible books: '10 Little Rubber Ducks'
Ahoy! Here We Go
Around the World
with 10 Little Rubber Ducks
"Ducks overboard!" shouts the captain, as a giant wave washes a box of 10 little rubber ducks off his cargo ship and into the sea. The 10 little rubber ducks are swept away in various directions. One drifts west, where a friendly dolphin jumps over it. A whale sings to another. But, as the sun sets, the 10th little rubber duck is left all alone, bobbing helplessly on the big wide sea. Small readers and listeners will empathize with the little duck's plight -- and will rejoice at the heartwarming surprise ending.
In this poignant and funny story, illustrated with strikingly designed collages, Eric Carle also takes readers on an exciting voyage of discovery. Following the little ducks as they float to all parts of the globe, young explorers can see for themselves the meanings of directional words, and learn simple math concepts such as counting and the use of cardinal and ordinal numbers. Each creature the ducks meet is seen in its own habitat and behaves in a true-to-life manner, offering a very simple first view of biology and geography.
All aboard for a world of learning and fun!

› Find signed collectible books: 'Anno's Counting Book'
What kind of a counting book is this? On the first page all we see is a barren winter landscape--a hazy, blue sky above a hazy, white hill. Nothing to count here. But wait, this is zero! On the next page the scene brightens: one tree, one bird, one house. Turn the page again and the snow has started to melt--we find two buildings, two trucks, two trees, two children, two dogs, and two adults. Suddenly there is almost more than we can count on each page! The objects in the beautiful watercolor pictures correspond with each consecutive number, and in addition (so to speak), the number of items on the page increases exponentially.
Mitsumasa Anno, author and illustrator of the award-winning Anno's Journey, has crafted a lovely medium to help kids learn to count. His love for numbers is reflected in the symmetry of every page, as well as his respect for the mathematical relationships that occur all around us. What kind of a counting book is this? The graceful, intelligent, engaging kind. (Ages 4 to 8) [via]

With sweet illustrations by veteran children's book artists Jose Aruego and Ariane Dewey, this lovely counting song will invoke squeals of delight from babies and toddlers. They'll love counting down as first five little ducks, then four, then three, then two, then one go out to play, not to return.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Hippos Go Berserk!'
How dull, to be one hippo all alone... until the one calls two other hippos on the phone. Soon three more hippos are at the door, bringing along another four. Before the night is through, a houseful of hippos (and one beast) has joined the one hippo for a boisterous bash.
All through the hippo night,In clusters of nine, eight, seven, six, and so on, the hippos depart, finally leaving the one hippo "alone once more, [missing] the other forty-four."
Hippos play with great delight.
But at the hippo break of day,
The hippos all must go away.
The well-loved Sandra Boynton wrote this tribute to silliness in 1977, inspiring generations of the very young to learn to count. Lively, cute new illustrations complement this edition, with big numbers (one through nine, and nine through one) boldly placed on the corner of each page. The sturdy board book will withstand lots of eager counting fingers, and maybe even a berserk hippo or two. Boynton's familiar style can be seen in scads of other delightfully nonsensical titles, including Barnyard Dance! and Moo, Baa, La La La!. (Ages 3 to 7) --Emilie Coulter [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'One Duck Stuck'
"Splish, clomp, pleep, plop, plunk, sloosh, slosh, slink, zing." Who can resist a read-aloud featuring sounds like these? When, "Down by the marsh, by the sleepy, slimy marsh, one duck gets stuck in the muck," who comes to the rescue? Two fish, splishing, for starters. Then three moose clomping, four crickets pleeping, and so on. Still, "No luck. Still stuck." It takes a whole lot of teamwork to get this particular stuck duck unstuck from the muck, but this cheerful bunch is definitely up to the task.
From one duck to 10 dragonflies, the muddy fun never stops in Phyllis Root's chunky little board book. Young readers will giggle their way through the numbers, and by the time the duck's foot is released with a "Spluck!" counting will be a cinch. Jane Chapman's lush illustrations are full of marshy colors and muddy detail. The right side of each two-page spread shows the hapless duck earnestly waiting for liberation by its lively rescuers, while on the opposite side the featured number is printed, large and bold, over the text, and the splishers and ploppers are depicted again for easy counting. Chapman's enchanting art is also found in The Emperor's Egg, among other titles, and Root's other popular stories include Kiss the Cow!. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter [via]

"Did you ever fly a kite in bed? Did you ever walk with ten cats on your head?" Such are the profound, philosophical queries posed in this well-loved classic by Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel. While many rhymes in this couplet collection resemble sphinx-worthy riddles, Seuss's intention is clear: teach children to read in a way that is both entertaining and educational. It matters little that each wonderful vignette has nothing to do with the one that follows. (We move seamlessly from a one-humped Wump and Mister Gump to yellow pets called the Zeds with one hair upon their heads.) Children today will be as entranced by these ridiculous rhymes as they have been since the book's original publication in 1960--so amused and enchanted, in fact, they may not even notice they are learning to read! (Ages 4 to 8) [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Over in the Meadow'
"Over in the meadow / in the sand in the sun / Lived an old mother turtle / and her little turtle one. / Dig said the mother. / We dig said the one. / So they dug all day / in the sand in the sun." Oliver A. Wadsworth's well-loved, late-19th-century counting rhyme transforms itself again in this gently endearing picture book Over in the Meadow, illustrated by Anna Vojtech. Preschoolers will be captivated by the soft, steady rhythms of the poem and its serene expression of the mother-baby bond. Each spread, counting from 1 to 10, shows a mother animal and her young (two babies, three babies, four babies, etc.), but toddlers can also locate twosomes, threesomes, and foursomes of other living creatures in the meadow scenes to count as well. In the "old mother owl" spread, there are three owl babies, three beetles, three ants, three acorns, and three caterpillars! What makes this book stand out from a sea of counting books are the spectacular, luminous illustrations--set off masterfully by an elegant but playful design with generously sized type and clever illustrative accents (four little ratties, little bees five, etc.) This new take on an old favorite belongs on every preschooler's shelf!

› Find signed collectible books: 'Rooster's Off to See the World'
With his lush, gorgeous collages, Eric Carle hardly needs to write a word to make his picture books appealing. Rooster's Off to See the World, in fact, may have been more successful as a wordless book. Rooster wakes up one morning and decides he wants to travel. Off he goes, picking up companions along the way (two cats, three frogs, four turtles, etc.). When night falls, the critters become cold and lonely and hungry, and, group by group, return home. It seems the message here is, "there's no place like home"; reassuring for toddlers, to be sure, but somehow a bit sad and disappointing, too. This small board-book edition is crowded with Carle's trademark illustrations, stunning in color and form--but also with wordy text and counting graphics in the upper right corner of each spread. The adding and subtracting element is an attractive and clever feature, but ultimately, it's a little too much. This said, children and adults will probably be so mesmerized by Carle's colorful collages, the rest won't matter. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter [via]

This winner of the Parents Magazine "Best Book of the Year" award is a simple counting book that celebrates Native American culture--and rabbits, of course. Each of Sylvia Long's detailed, painterly double-page illustrations has an old-fashioned quality that gives the book the feel of classic children's literature from the turn of the century. The accompanying text is a simple, rhythmic series of rhyming couplets. "Three busy messengers sending out the news" has three rabbits using one of their blankets to send smoke signals across a grassy river valley; "Four clever trackers looking for some clues" shows intrepid little hunters with bows and arrows examining the enormous paw-print of a bear. After "Ten sleepy weavers knowing day is done," an extra panel shows one rabbit hunched over a campfire while the other nine sleep soundly. A cut above the mass of counting books. (Baby to age 4) --Richard Farr [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'
"In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf." So begins Eric Carle's modern classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. More than 12 million copies of this book have been sold in its original, full-sized edition, and the beloved tale of science and gluttony has been translated into 20 languages. This five-by-four-inch miniature edition is truly tiny, with tiny type, but it is a nice size for small hands to hold and flip through the pictures. Despite its diminished state, the book is complete in every detail, following the ravenous caterpillar's path as he eats his way through one apple (and the pages of the book itself) on Monday, two pears on Tuesday, three plums on Wednesday, and so on, through cherry pie and sausage--until he is really fat and has a stomachache. And no doubt you know what happens next! Kids love butterfly metamorphosis stories, and this popular favorite teaches counting and the days of the week, too. A fun gift package for caterpillar fans.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Kleine Raupe Nimmerstatt'
Eric Carles Kleine Raupe Nimmersatt gehört mit Sicherheit zu den ersten Bilderbüchern, die im Kinderzimmer auf dem Regal Einzug halten und die sich seit Jahren ungebrochener Beliebtheit bei den kleinen Lesern erfreuen, die meistens noch gar nicht selber lesen, sondern nur genußvoll der hemmungslosen Völlerei der kleinen gefräßigen Raupe lauschen.
Wer kennt das nicht, dieses wilde Durcheinander im Bauch, das die kleine Raupe in sich hineinschaufelte. Der Anfang ist noch richtig gesund. "Am Montag fraß sie sich durch einen Apfel. Aber satt war sie noch immer nicht." Am Dienstag müssen es dann schon zwei Birnen sein, am Donnerstag vier Erdbeeren und am Freitag sogar fünf Apfelsinen. Richtig toll ist die Steigerung am Sonnabend. Da langt sie noch einmal richtig zu und jedes Kind zählt mit Begeisterung all die wunderbaren Köstlichkeiten mit, die sich die Raupe gönnt: "Ein Stück Schokoladenkuchen, eine Eiswaffel, eine saure Gurke, eine Scheibe Käse, ein Stück Wurst, einen Lolli, ein Stück Früchtebrot, ein Würstchen, ein Törtchen und ein Stück Melone." Diese Orgie endet nicht mit dem gewohnten Satz: "Aber satt war sie noch immer nicht." Nein, es heißt lapidar: "An diesem Abend hatte sie Bauchschmerzen!"
Jedes Kind hat diese schmerzvolle Erfahrung schon selbst einmal gemacht und kann mitfühlen, wie die arme kleine Raupe jetzt leidet. Aber am nächsten Tag ist wieder alles bestens und die Raupe macht sich nach einem gesunden grünen Blatt daran, sich in ihren Kokon zu verspinnen und alle dürfen gespannt sein auf den prächtigen farbenfrohen Schmetterling, der sich ganz am Ende des Buches in seiner vollen strahlenden Pracht entfaltet.
Eric Carle erobert die Kinderherzen mit seiner ihm eigenen Technik der Collage in kräftigen Farben. Zudem hat er noch so viele Kleinigkeiten in seinem Bilderbuch versteckt, die alle von den Kleinen begeistert aufgenommen werden: Da werden die Wochentage aufgezählt, alle Verse auswendig mitgesprochen, genüßlich in allen Löchern gebohrt, die die Raupe gefressen hat, und zum guten Schluß weiß jedes Kind, daß aus so einer unscheinbaren grünen Raupe ein wunderschöner Schmetterling entsteht. Welches Bilderbuch bietet eine solche Fülle an Möglichkeiten? --Manuela Haselberger [via]
