Counting through a garden season

Max and Josephine’s garden gives the counting in One Watermelon Seed a clear sequence: planting moves from one to ten, and harvesting shifts to groups of ten. The pictures add another activity, with small animals to find among the garden scenes. Numbers are tied to what grows and what is gathered, offering two ways to count within the same setting.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children practicing counting to ten and by tens
  • Families who enjoy finding hidden details in pictures

Book overview

In this deceptively simple counting book, Max and Josephine tend their garden while readers follow along, counting from one to ten as the garden is planted. Then readers can count in groups of tens as the garden is harvested, while they search through the pictures for the many small animals that are hiding throughout. A concise and clever text introduces color and rhythm, and the illustrations are bright and engaging, making this a perfect counting book for children aged three to seven.

First published in 1986 and a staple ever since for parents of preschool children and teachers of primary grades, One Watermelon Seed is presented in a new edition with a bold new cover and interior art.
