Young Danny Owl's initial efforts at counting 'One duck, another duck, another duck...' don't meet Grandmother's approval. Soon however he's getting his numbers right even if he does insist upon heralding the arrival of each newcomer with 'another duck' and by the end of the day, the sky's the limit such is his enthusiasm for counting. Charlotte Pomerantz cleverly uses a simple vocabulary and repetition to create a delightful, easy-to-read story book as well as counting book. Aruego and Dewey add their own special humour and child appeal with their bright, expressive illustrations.
