Let's Count to 100!

Masayuki Sebe. Kids Can, $16.95 (24p) ISBN 978-1-55453-661-0

Every spread in this high-energy counting book contains 100 cartoon people, objects, or animals, as Sebe provides enthusiastic prompts: "There are 100 sheep... and 1 rabbit! (Do you see him?"). Conversations and interactions between the creatures add to the fun: in a scene in which 100 fish swim in a river, a pink elephant sticks its trunk into the water, and a toothy, yellow fish goes in for a bite ("Bon app%C3%A9tit!" says another). With much to discover, a wry sense of humor, and a clean aesthetic, it's a lively pick for readers ready for more adventurous counting challenges. Ages 3%E2%80%937. (Aug.)
