One Gorilla: A Counting Book

One Gorilla: A Counting Book by Atsuko Morozumi, 1990

Brief annotation

One very playful gorilla keeps popping up in gardens, forests, jungles, and even people's houses as he takes the reader on a wild counting adventure. He hides--as much as a gorilla can!--along with all the other creatures as they dart, leap, and peer from the most surprising places, waiting to be counted. A chart at the end of the book provides a key to all the animals and their corresponding numbers. Soft, precise illustrations characterize this colorful counting book.

Themes include counting, nature and repetition.

This is a fun and colorful book to get young children involved in counting as well as identifying the animals that appear on the page.
