Ten on a Twig - Hardcover and Boardbook: published 2020 and 2021
Publisher: Sourcebooks Jabberwocky
Count down from ten like never before with this uniquely interactive book!
"In much the same way Eric Carle utilizes the pages in The Very Hungry Caterpillar to show the little critter eating its way through the week, Cole uses pages of increasing width to show how the twig grows shorter as each bird falls and marches off purposefully with the others. Stylistically, the book is captivating. Sure to delight readers. Who knew that turning the pages could be the best part of a book?” - Kirkus Reviews
"Ten bright, colorful, and progressively sized birds are sitting in a row on a twig, passing the time until one falls off, leaving just nine. Thus begins an unusual counting book, one that counts down from ten instead of counting up. This, of course, is something all children need to learn, but it certainly isn’t the obvious way to write a counting book. That’s one of the things that makes this book so fresh and so fun." - San Francisco Book Review
