Teeth Tails And Tentacless — Chris Wormell

With his trademark colorful and compelling images of animals both familiar and exotic, acclaimed British illustrator Christopher Wormell brings a uniquely artful point of view to the traditional counting book. Wormell's inventive approach to illustrating the numbers from 1 to 20 highlights intriguing parts, behaviors, or features of specific animals, rather than simply increasing the numbers of the animals themselves. This new perspective presents an opportunity for further parent-child exploration of the animal -- How many legs does the camel have? What color is the ladybug? -- in keeping with the current trend toward interdisciplinary education for the very young.
