This clever collection of American and English counting rhymes includes old favorites like "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" and "As I Was Going to St. Ives" as well as many lesser-known verses. Barnes-Murphy's detailed watercolor-and-ink drawings are filled with witty characters and droll humor, reminiscent in some ways of the work of Richard Scarry. An old goat gleefully plays "nick nack paddywhack" on the shoes of a bemused rabbit and on the heads of cherubs, and Gregory Griggs models all 27 of his incredible wigs. Daffodils brashly decorate the hats of three Dickensian Welshmen who find a hedgehog in a bramble bush, and "nine nimble noblemen nibbling nectarines" stack themselves in an amazing acrobatic feat. Not only is this an appealing counting book, but it is also a lively introduction to traditional rhymes and wry humor. Ages 4-8.
