ere's a rhymed counting book (written and illustrated by Teagan White), with one verse per number, and each verse leading into the next. Beside the verse, on each two page spread, is a picture of the same number of
barefoot critters
.

Counting with Barefoot Critters
is a nice change from the usual counting picture book.
