Seeger in this book did the same idea that she used in her First the Egg children book. She showed her ability to transform words and objects into a wonderful concept book. Seeger uses the numbers 1 through 10, with her signature die-cut pages, and a simple vocabulary. She designed her book in a way that shows words inside other words, and she tempted to create a tribute to wordplay that is unmatched. When the readers go through the text, they will notice that the 10 objects are linked just by the look they spell ("one boy /All alone,/ Two seals, At the sea,/Ten ants/In your pants"). In the end the story, however, the reader accurately will discover that all of the art was painted by the "one boy" who is the first page of the book. Older readers may quickly return to the beginning to meditate the paintings and study them more carefully. The PreK also will enjoy the design of the book and have fun in guessing at what they are going to see next. It is an excellent book for the children who are started to develop their sight words. The main idea of this story is that the one boy who was alone will not be left alone after his paintings. ( )
