Book Description
for One Leaf, Two Leaves, Count with Me! by John Micklos, Jr. and Clive McFarland
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
A playful rhyming concept book that combines counting with changing seasons shows oak leaves budding in the spring (“One leaf … two leaves on the tree. Three leaves, four leaves, count with me!”) A brown-skinned child observes the changing landscape and counts the new growth up to 10 leaves. Summer follows spring, and then “Air grows chilly, whistling winds. Leaves change color. Fall begins!” Leaves drop, accompanied by a countdown from 10 to one. And after winter, “New buds stir high on the tree, growing bigger, watch and see.” (Ages 2-4)
