Did you know mobiles were created back in 1954 in Denmark? The super stylish Counting Chickens by Harriet Ziefert, with mobiles by Flensted, showcases a unique art form, while inspiring counting fun, and paying close attention to the details. The cover has mobile cut-outs, and the pages are shiny, with illustrative mobiles that literally “pop” off the page. A creative take on a counting book, the pages have chickens, with eggs, fish, elephants, dolphins, boats, toucans, bats, cats, and more! Asking the listener things like “How many flying? How many standing? How many more? How many in all?” makes this an interactive reading experience! Easy to read, and fun, this book is great for all ages. It capitivates the audience with its bright colors and inquisitive format. Good for people both young and old, who love counting, crafting, and appreciate art in all forms!
