100 Animals On Parade!
Masayuki Sebe. Kids Can, $16.95 (24p) ISBN 978-1-55453-871-3
In this exuberant companion to Let’s Count to 100!, Sebe again offers hundreds of impish animals to count and pore over. At the head of the eponymous parade are 100 bears, who snake their way across three spreads; seek-and-find prompts (“Where is the four-leaf clover?” “There’s a rabbit here somewhere...”) encourage active participation, and every 10th animal is labeled in case readers lose track. The bears are followed by 100 “piggy chefs,” carpenter beetles, a “rabbit circus,” and more, giving this parade a true “anything can happen” feeling. Readers will have a sense of accomplishment after adding up the numbers on each page, perhaps even forgetting that there’s math underlying all the fun. Ages 3–7. (Mar.)
