Book Descriptions
for One Leaf, Two Leaves, Count with Me! by John Micklos, Jr. and Clive McFarland
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
A playful rhyming concept book that combines counting with changing seasons shows oak leaves budding in the spring (“One leaf … two leaves on the tree. Three leaves, four leaves, count with me!”) A brown-skinned child observes the changing landscape and counts the new growth up to 10 leaves. Summer follows spring, and then “Air grows chilly, whistling winds. Leaves change color. Fall begins!” Leaves drop, accompanied by a countdown from 10 to one. And after winter, “New buds stir high on the tree, growing bigger, watch and see.” (Ages 2-4)

From the Publisher
This playful counting book shares the colorful highlights of the four seasons in charming illustrations.
Count your way through the seasons! In spring, the tree’s leaves appear, one by one. By summer, there’s a glorious canopy. And when autumn winds blow, leaves fly from the tree, one after another, leading us into winter. There’s a world of activity to spy in and around this beautiful tree as the wild creatures, and one little boy, celebrate the cycles of nature. As little ones count leaves, look for animals, and enjoy the changing seasonal landscape, bouncy rhymes and bold illustrations make learning to count easy—corresponding numerals reinforcing the learning fun.
