1 told 2 and 2 told 3, "I'll race you to the top of the apple tree." One hundred and one numbers climb the apple tree in this bright, rollicking, joyous book for young children. As the numerals pile up and bumblebees threaten, what's the number that saves the day? (Hint: It rhymes with "hero.") Read and count and play and laugh to learn the surprising answer. The numbers can't resist-they've got to climb the apple tree! First by ones and then by tens, more and more numbers clamber onto its branches. But is there room for zero? And what will all the numbers do when the bees start to buzz? Luckily, one surprising number will turn out to be the hero of the day! Kids will get a better understanding of numbers as they revisit this cheerful choice.
