Description
A hilarious and unexpected backward counting picture book from the author of Zebra and Yak: The Backwards Alphabet Book. Counting books are supposed to go one, two, three, then a bunch of other numbers... But this one starts with Twenty bottles of milk on the wall. It's an odd--actually, an even--way to kick things off. Zebra and Yak aren't sure what to think. And from bottles of milk, to runaway cows, to UFOs on the loose, things just get stranger from there. The author of Zebra and Yak: The Backwards Alphabet Book returns with an irreverent take on counting, and the same hilarious characters are back for another unexpected adventure.

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"The simply drawn yet expressive cartoon duo, set against solid backgrounds with dynamic fonts, will appeal to fans of Elephant and Piggie or Narwhal and Jelly. The charming protagonists' personalities, quips, and antics take the story beyond a concept book into a laugh-aloud, character-driven romp with ample rereading potential. Count on it--youngsters will laugh all the way through." --Kirkus Reviews
