Let's Count the Puppies

Katharine Kunhardt. Katherine Tegen Books, $12.99 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-06-054336-5

Youngsters can count from one to 12 with a bountiful brood of Labrador puppies featured in the single-page and full-spread photos of Let's Count the Puppies by Katharine Kunhardt. Seven irresistible puppies ""play house"" in a doll house; nine nestle in a tub while they await a bath. (Oddly, the same puppy photo is used for ""waving hello"" and ""bye-bye."") Curious dog lovers can see what the pups look like all grown up in Kunhardt's closing pages ""from my scrapbook.""
