Counting animals through photographs and poetry

From one to twenty, each number introduces animals grouped by striking features, from stripes and spots to spines and transparency. National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore’s portraits include familiar species alongside less commonly known animals; the source also connects the photographs to his project to document species in human care, with attention to rare and endangered animals. Debbie Levy’s poems pair the images in playful combinations, making counting the book’s organizing thread while bringing animal variety into view.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children practicing counting from 1 to 20
  • Children who enjoy animal photographs and poems
  • Families and educators looking for an animal-themed picture book

Book overview

A delightful number-themed picture book pairing spectacular animal photos by National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore with lively poems by New York Times best-selling author Debbie Levy.

Count your way from 1 to 20 through the animal kingdom, meeting striped, spotted, shiny, spiky, and even see-through creatures as you go. This colorful picture book teems with Sartore's dazzling portraits of animals both familiar and little known--including some of the most adorable baby animals on the planet! The photos are part of Sartore's mission to photograph all the animal species in human care, with special attention given to rare and endangered species. Levy's playful poems present the animals in fresh, often quirky combinations, such as "2 You Can See Through," featuring "A fish with a view, / A jelly too." A beautiful gift book for animal lovers of any age, and a very special counting book for young children.
