Summary: Our family LOVES this book
Review: My husband made up a song to go with the words - this is one of our family's favorites! A very sing-songy read with made up words and a short but sweet narrative. Get this book and try to make up a tune to go with the poetry. This is not a counting book. If you like imagination and poetry, you'll love this.

Summary: Quite boring.
Review: This book is neither interesting for my kids or for me. I thought it would make counting fun. But it doesn't. This book is quite dull.

Summary: A poem in words and pictures
Review: This narrative was perhaps the first poem my children learned--and both they and I love it. "Seventeen kings and fourty-two elephants Going on a journey on a wild wet night" meet all sorts of wonderful creatures in their travels through the lush jungle inhabitting these pages. There are white-toothed crocodiles, green-eyed dragons, small crabs, ponderous hippoptomums, dancing "to the music that the marchers made," not to mention tigers, cranes, pelicans, peacocks, and twangling trillicans. They go off into the night as raindrops glisten on the elephants' backs and the deep dark jungle devours their tracks. Altogether a delightful journey into word play and magical illustrations.
