Ten Little Fish — Harriet Ziefert

Everybody into the water! From one to ten, and from diez to uno, counting is featured in this swimmy, finny underwater concept book. With opposites, short, long / corto, largo; descriptions, yellow, blue/amarillo, azul; action words swim, dive / nadar, saltar; and rhyme, a lot of language arts fill this lively lake.

And it all ends . . . with a splash!

Teachers and parents of ESL students will cheer when they discover the ¡Hola, English! series, as will those seeking to expose English-speaking kids to Spanish. Ten Little Fish combines numbers with simple adjectives ("fish above, fish below; seven fish, fast and slow") and simple verbs ("swim and dive fish, here are five fish").
