'Oh ONE can be fun. ONE Bun ONE sun ONE tree. You see? Just me.Ah TWO. Yahoo! That's me AND
you - a couple a pair. Let's share!'So begins a lively rhyming story that follows ONE little
bunny's attempts to host a fun birthday picnic as her friends fox penguin bear tiger sloth
toucan dinosaur and giraffe arrive one by one to swell the numbers to NINE. But it is guest
number TEN a skunk with a rather unusual perfume who causes most problems prompting each
animal to make its excuses and leave. Nevertheless it is the skunk who turns out to be the
best of the bunch and in more ways than one. Rhyming text and appealing illustrations combine
perfectly to help consolidate counting up to ten and back again also gently reinforcing the
early numeracy concepts of one more and one less.
