First published in 1986, One Watermelon Seed is a children's
counting book that teaches young people about the numbers one through
ten--followed by the numbers ten through one hundred! Two children Max
and Josephine count the many seeds, plants, and harvested crops in their
garden; their efforts are brought to brilliant life with vibrant color
illustrations and easy-to-follow text. Each two-page spread perfectly
illustrates the number being taught in this wonderful staple
children's book, especially recommended for public library
collections.
