About the Author
Carrying on in the nonsense-verse tradition of Dr. Seuss, Edward Lear and Lewis Caroll, the witty and jubilant poetry-tales of Indian writer Anushka Ravishankar are internationally acclaimed, widely translated, and honoured with innumerable awards. Anushka has authored over 18 books. An exciting voice in contemporary Indian writing, Sirish Rao has authored over eighteen books, ranging from novels to children's books, re-tellings of myths to pop art collections. HIs books have won international awards and have been translated into several languages. His writing reflects his interest in nature, mountaineering, travel, eccentric people and the oddities of language. Durga Bai is a young woman tribal artist from the Gond tradition of central India. Gond is a ritual and functional art style with distinctive decorative elements, mostly painted on walls of houses, using natural colours. Durga Bai constantly re-works and pushes the borders of the Gond art form to create art that sparkles with a distinctive energy.
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 1–This delightful book encourages active participation and close observation. As the number of animals in a tree increases from 1 dizzy ant to 10 hefty elephants, children are encouraged to spot and count them. One spread clearly identifies the number, the word, and corresponding animals. A turn of the page shows the same animals on the tree limbs, which are executed in black-and-white lines on a colorful background. As each new number is presented, the tree "grows" with the corresponding number of creatures. The newest additions are in bold colors; the previously introduced animals blend into the branches, turning the book into a game to find them. Children will enjoy the humor as each new group tries to find space in the tree. This book introduces youngsters to the traditional Gond art from central India, and is a showpiece for the artist's skillful work.–Margaret R. Tassia, Millersville University, PA

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: UNSPECIFIED. Bai, Durga (illustrator). Hardback no D/J in good condition, little signs of being read. Also with Sirish Rao and Durga Bai. This visually stunning read-aloud book invites young children to count the improbable number of animals that clamber up an ever-expanding tree. Illustrated with art from the Gond tribal tradition of central India, One Two Tree! is a number book, a picture book, a nursery rhyme and a fable of living together. About the Author One of our most prolific children's book writers, Anushka Ravishankar has slowly but surely been securing her status as one of the best children's writers of her generation. Her expansive talent shines most brilliantly in her works of nonsense verse; jubilant and artful adaptations of this difficult genre to the cadences of Indian English. Said to be the pioneer of this form, she has earned national and international acclaim for her nine verse books released over the last decade. Rights to her books have been snapped up around the world and she has over 12 awards to her name. Her books owe their success not only to her fabulous verse, but to her willingness to collaborate and experiment with many different artists and designers; whether working with Swiss textile artists or veteran Indian illustrators, the best aspect of Anushka's work is the cohesion she creates between the text, typography and artwork of each scene. Durga Bai is a young tribal artist from the Gond tradition of central India. Gond is a ritual and functional art style with distinctive decorative elements, mostly painted on walls of houses, using natural colours. Durga constantly re-works and pushes the borders of the form to create art that sparkles with a distinctive energy. Sirish Rao is one of the most exciting new voices in contemporary Indian writing. He has authored 16 books, ranging from novels and children's books to re-tellings of myths, and collections of pop art; several have won international awards. His writing reflects his interests.
