In this wordless book, readers can practice their counting skills by observing the number of animals traveling by train to the zoo. Colorful collage style illustrations depict scenes of such creatures as three giraffes, four lions, and five bears.

Each car on the train has one more zoo animal than the one before, from the first car with an elephant to the last with ten birds.

Joyously colored animals, riding on a train to the zoo, offer youngsters a first introduction to numbers, number sets, addition and counting in this paperback reissue of Eric Carle?s first picture book. A gatefold spread at the back of the book, featuring the whole wonderful animal train, adds to the fun!
