So much to learn, so little time! Join the mild-looking little boy protagonist as he learns the ABCs (alligator, bear, cow) numbers (1 through 10 children hanging from a tree-and back to zero when a tiger shows up) colors (John Burningham's vibrant oranges, purples, and greens will be stamped on the reader's memory for life!) and opposites (our hero holds up an elephant to illustrate heavy, and then practically floats away demonstrating how light his balloon is). His other books include the four titles in the "Rhymetime" series and "Harvey Slumfenburger's Christmas Present". He has also won the Emil/Kurt Maschler Award for "Granpa" (1984). John Burningham has twice won the Kate Greenaway Medal, for "Borka: The Adventures of a Goose With No Feathers" (1964) and for "Mr Grumpy's Outing" (1970). It contains amusing pictures of animals and children, including a toddler who appears throughout the book. This book of concepts covers numbers, the alphabet, colours and opposites.
