About this title

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Rhyme and rhythm inspire 10 engaging toddlers as they dance from 1 to 10 and back again. Beginning with two children, the text counts in pairs, introducing two new children and more energy with each couple. At 10, the rhyme proceeds to count backward to 1, with the energy level decreasing correspondingly. Rhymes such as "Four, three/Fingers high/Lift your knee/Touch the sky" are perfectly suited to one-to-two year olds, who can join in the action or simply listen. The whirling and skipping toddlers are joined by a cat that is at first alarmed by the dancing tots and afraid of being trampled, but that finally joins in with a "Jiggity-jive/Tiggle toddle." The simple cartoons depict smiling, animated youngsters with round faces and chubby thighs romping on solid-colored backgrounds. A joyful selection that guarantees participation.
