10 Dogs

Ten dogs chase a string of sausages, and the changing distribution of the treats gives the story its counting structure: the balance shifts between one dog with everything and a growing group sharing the prize. The question of how ten hungry dogs might divide ten treats adds a simple sharing theme to the numerical play. Emily Gravett’s book is a 26-page picture book described as built around playful illustrations and plot twists, with the chase keeping its focus on dogs, numbers, and sausages.
