Out for the Count
By Kathryn Cave
Illustrated by Chris Riddell
The beach looked like the perfect spot
for Tom to sunbathe. It was not.
61 enormous bears
seemed to think that it was theirs...
I write for children of all ages. I live in Hampstead, London, and I'm available
for school visits and workshops.
About writing
Out for the Count
Chris made this more fun than any counting book has a right
to be. I hope it's
fun to use too.
Available as a Big Book
and as a paperback.
Not a counting book as you know it - it's more of a counting adventure. Told in hopeful rhyme, jam-packed with witty illustrations that won't just cheer you up: they'll help you count (anything from goats to ghosts, from pythons to penguins to pirates) all the way to 100. And there really ARE 61 bears up there. Just count.
88 ghosts in a huddle
generally leads to trouble ...
(See for yourself - and count
the ghosts - on the far left .)
