A mother hen counts her chicks from one to ten and a mother cow makes her calf laugh in this rhyming board book by Curious George creator H. A. Rey. Each spread features a four line poem and an image of a mother farm animal with a big, strudy flap to lift to reveal the her babies! It’s all saturated in Rey’s familiar, classic color palette and makes for a multi-sensory read-aloud experience for babies of the human variety. AGES: 4-7 AUTHOR: Hans Augusto Rey is well-known for his series Curious George. He was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1898. As a child, he spent much of his free time in that city’s famous Hagenbeck Zoo drawing animals.
