Ocean Counting: Odd Numbers
Written by Jerry Pallotta
Illustrated by Shennen Bersani
Ages 4-7
ISBN: 0-88106-150-6
Price: $6.95
Charlesbridge

Are you ready to count by twos starting with odd numbers? You may need a little help, so let an ocean-full of creatures show you the way. And while your head is swimming with numbers, add in a few ocean-dweller facts to make things interesting. From one Striped Bass with teeth like Velcro, to seven Basking Sharks that cruise with their mouths open to catch food (now that's odd), to 49 Smelts traveling in a school.

Shennen Bersani's richly textured illustrations find a world of color and activity in the dark waters of the Atlantic Ocean. So realistic it's like looking at an aquarium.

And, if skip-counting and ocean facts aren't enough of a challenge, look closely in the illustrations for the names of the U.S. capitol cities.
