I Knew Two Who Said Moo: A Counting and Rhyming Book Book

"I found only one weighing a ton who had just begun lying in the sun on a toasted bun having lots of fun playing the accordion and thinking he should run before he's too well-done." Just imagine the illustrations accompanying a wacky verse like that, multiply the whole concept by 10, and you begin to get a sense of Judi Barrett and Daniel Moreton's big, nutty counting-rhyming book. Each number, 1 through 10, is rhymed in the most delightfully nonsensical way, and accompanied by lively, colorful, wittily detailed illustrations. Each two-page spread is devoted to a number poem on one side and picture--of lions with umbrellas, bears operating heavy machinery, and lizards on strike--on the other. Lyrical it is not, but children will enjoy pounding out the final syllable of each line as they learn the joys of numbers and word sounds. Just try to stop young readers from coming up with their own silly rhymes--in fact, how about challenging them to a verse to rhyme with 17! Barrett's goofy sense of humor has been showcased in her many other children's books, including Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. (Ages 2 to 5) --Emilie CoulterRead More

    A Few Words From the Author:

    I've always wanted to create a different kind of counting book. I love playing with words, rhyming them, making jokes with them, and playing with their sounds. I had such a good time writing I Knew Two Who Said Moo. I started with the sound of each number, and then thought of other words with similar sounds that I could use to create these nonsense rhymes that do make sense -- in a silly way!

    Writing this book made me laugh. I hope it makes you laugh too!

    Your friend,
    JUDI BARRETT
