Book Reviews of One Was Johnny: A Counting Book
Book Review: An Original Funny Counting Book
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an original silly counting book, given in rhyme and cumulative verse. For each number up to ten, a different animal or character joins Johnny in his house; when it gets too crowded, he threatens to eat everyone and they leave one by one. Sendak's artwork is delightful, and the slapstick humor and anticipatory drama is very fun. This book may not actually teach children to count unless they memorize it, but it does have the slight advantage of going backwards as well as forwards. The great draw, of course, is the artwork and humor. Not a bad addition to a children's library, although Alfie's 123 is a better choice for actually teaching numbers.
