One cat sitting on a fence. Two cats sitting on a fence. One by one, cats are added until there are ten, all sitting on a fence. Sitting. Sitting. Enjoying the sun. They all hear a bark... Then there are none. With only tails left seen running from the final pages, time to start in again! The simple text and colorful, comical cats in this counting book provide a way for young children to learn to count from one (1) to ten (10) with ease and entertainment.
