Synopsis
Fresh illustrations, a rollicking text, and a growing succession of cute little chicks make the counting go down easy. When one big-eyed chick fails to yank its prize worm from the ground, it's time to bring in a friend--and then another, and another. But if adding a rooster to the crew still doesn't do the trick, could it be that a worm isn't always what it seems? Each turn of the page brings a new number and a new rhyme in this delightful debut from both author and illustrator.
