Description

“Recommended for early childhood collections, this brisk and funny rhyming story will be a hit at story times.” — The School Library Journal

A sloth, a moth, a skink, a skunk. Here comes a camel and a quail, but can we fit a whole blue whale? In this playful, silly read-aloud, readers will laugh and count along as 100 animals try to squeeze on the pages of the book, while learning that there’s always room for one more to join.

Large board book format is perfect for little hands
Humorous ending features an expansive double gatefold
Educational endnotes list the 100 animals in the book

Publisher Review

“The artwork is cheerful and bright with high-contrast colors, depicting wonderfully unusual animals like rooks, rhinos, crabs, koalas, tapirs, skinks, and quails, all interacting with joy . . . But perhaps the truest charm of this book lies in its language, rich with assonance, alliteration, and internal and end rhymes and liltingly cadenced with read-aloud rhythm” – Booklist “Yin debuts with a colorful reminder about inclusion . . . Recommended for early childhood collections, this brisk and funny rhyming story will be a hit at story times” – The School Library Journal “Yin’s precisely cadenced rhymes and artful alliteration are a joy to read. Verhoeff’s colorful images, which carry the weight of the denouement, also show the animals interacting and problem solving as part of a vibrant community” – Mombian
