Book description: “This charming reverse counting rhyme of the teddy bears that are stolen by ten bananas goes hilariously down the number chain, through all the types of fruit. The bears belong to 'nine sleepy pears' who are followed by lemons, apples, watermelons and the rest — right down to one small berry, The ridiculous procession proceeds down the street, risking life and limb as they chase the bananas, until stopped by what could have been a dreadful calamity.” Dr Virginia Lowe
Book review: The rhyme isn't always quite there, but the giggles are and that's what makes this colorful fruit-filled backward counting book a bonanza of fun. Little ones will take to this tale quite readily and naturally delight in identifying their favorite fruits and counting them down as they follow along the silly story that weaves this madcap world of fruit together.
