Fresh illustrations, a rollicking text, and a growing succession of cute little chicks make the counting go down easy. When one big-eyed chick fails to yank its prize worm from the ground, it’s time to bring in a friend—and then another, and another. But if adding a rooster to the crew still doesn’t do the trick, could it be that a worm isn’t always what it seems? Each turn of the page brings a new number and a new rhyme in this delightful debut from both author and illustrator.

Human Toll by Barbara Baynton is about peasant Australians Boshy and Nungi as they prepare to go to work when a snake crawls under their hut. Excerpt: "WHAT was this blocking the tallow-scoop? Boshy, secretly styled 'The Lag,' or 'One Eye,' bent to see. Leisurely he thrust down a groping hand and drew up, but not out, a fat clogged basil-belt. Hastily his other hand clawed it conferring, then with both he forced it back again into its greasy hidingplace of past long years."
