Book Reviews of One Was Johnny: A Counting Book
Book Review: A counting book with attitude!
Summary: 5 Stars
Unlike so many dull counting books (and their companion dull alphabet books), this book has a quirky attitude all its own. "One" shows Johnny happy alone, reading a book; as we count upward, a number of raucous animals and even a robber invade his home. We start to count down when Johnny threatens his uninvited guests, "I'm going to count backwards and when I am through/If this house isn't empty, I'll eat all of you!" My 16-month-old son loves it & so do I. I wish they made this in board book form.Book Review: A GREAT COUNTING BOOK FOR LITTLE ONES
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book. It is small and it is quintessential Sendak. My grandson loves the Carol King record "Really Rosie" and I was thrilled to be able to buy three of the books that coordinate with the C.D. that includes "One Was Johnny". The illustrations are darling, and we love to sing the whole book. I recently ordered two additional sets of this book along with "Pierre" and "Alligators All Around". They're all delightful.Book Review: Another great counting book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book with one to ten -- unlike many, its forwards and backwards. The illustrations are classic Sendak -- a kooky little kid, and crazy animal friends. Nine arrive, and to get back to his solitude, Johnny counts backwards to make them leave. There are a lot of cute counting books out there, but this one has a twist no one else has picked up. The story line is nonsensical enough to hold interest for a long time.Book Review: Fun for my grandchilld
Summary: 5 Stars
I was initially disappointed at how tiny this book was(as well as Alligators All Around) but they've become favorites since I can carry them in my purse and read them to my grandchild wherever we may be.Book Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter who is 2 absolutely loves this book - she brings it to us to read over and over - she knows most of the words already!
