I had such a good time writing I Knew Two Who Said Moo. I started with the sound of each number, and then thought of other words with similar sounds that I could use to create these nonsense rhymes that do make sense -- in a silly way Writing this book made me laugh.

Wacky, Zany Fun

Judi Barrett and Daniel Moreton have collaborated on a marvelous book of counting, rhyming and matching that will mesmerize pre-schoolers with its humor and detail. Each silly, imaginative riddle, that rhymes with its page number, ("I noticed six, All holding picks, Trying to mix, A pile of bricks...") is illustrated with busy, vibrant artwork and youngsters will love to solve the easy riddles and find all the numbers and characters that correspond to the poem. Terrific for little ones just learning to count and rhyme, I Knew Two Who Said Moo is a winner kids won't be able to put down.

Silly Rhymes and beautiful illustrations!

I got this book because my husband loves to go around the house and make rhymes like these: "Hey Hon is dinner done? Or should I run and get a bun oh you have one? hey, there's my son!" This can be a normal conversation in our household. So I knew that he would love to read this book to our 14 month old son. And he does. What's more the illustrations are beautiful. My son will sit and turn page after page till he gets to the end of the book, then he'll turn page after page backwards. This will keep him occupied for 15 minutes at a time. An added bonus: the pages are a heavy stock paper and so far they've survived without ripping. I give it four stars because I wish it was longer (it only goes up to the number 10)
