1 Juan vivía solo como en el polo. 2 El 2 era la rata. ¡Con qué prisa saltó a la repisa! “El uno era Juan” es la peculiar versión que Gloria Fuertes hizo en 1977 de un clásico de Maurice Sendak de 1962 perteneciente a una destacada serie que se completa con “Lluvia de cocodrilos, un alfabeto”, “Sopa de pollo con arroz, libro de los meses” y “Miguel, un cuento muy moral en cinco capítulos y un prólogo”. Ingeniosas y sorprendentes, estas historias rimadas fueron distinguidas por la Asociación de Bibliotecas Americanas y el propio autor realizó una adaptación para el musical Really Rosie de 1975, interpretado por Carole King.

This is a fun counting book that allows young listeners to follow along up to 10 and then back down to 1 as the protagonist tries to live alone but is bothered by increasingly atypical animals with unusual tasks (e.g., a monkey delivering mail) invading his space. Despite its age, this book holds up pretty well and it could be useful for parents or teachers to share with toddlers/preschoolers to grasp the concepts of number and counting. ( )

A fun counting book with classic Sendak illustrations. I especially love the turtle ("four was the turtle who bit the dog's tail...four was the turtle who went off to bed").

We have the "nutshell" edition. ( )

"One was Johnny" is a great book to help children learn how to count. In the book they count up to number 10 and then they count backwards.

The purpose of this book is to teach kids that it can be fun to count, and it gives them a great visual of what it looks like to keep adding things to a small place.
