Books like We All Went on Safari
By Laurie Krebs
For the kid who counts everything in sight, this turns counting into a journey across a real landscape, alongside real animals and real children. Sunny, rhythmic, and wide open — the feel of a long walk under a big sky.
A bright, rhyming romp through a day in the life of birds — from the rooster's dawn crow to the owl's nighttime call — inviting little ones to cheep and tweet along.
A rhyming romp through everything that counts as a house — anthills, dog kennels, corn husks, pea pods — and eventually the surprising idea that a shoe, a mirror, even a word, might have a house too.
A lone trombone starts to play, then a trumpet joins for a duet, a French horn makes it a trio, and instruments keep arriving until a full ten-piece orchestra fills the stage.
An elephant named Horace turns eleven and throws a costume party for his exotically dressed animal friends, but when it's time for the feast, someone has already eaten it all.
A rhyming tour through the jungle introduces elephants, tigers, giraffes, hippos, leopards, and chimpanzees, each with their own playful verse and a hidden animal to spot on every page.
A delivery boy and his dog crisscross a bustling Mexican-American border town market, dropping off supplies to vendors selling sweets, sombreros, piñatas, and more.
A curious kid heads outside to explore wind firsthand — feeling it push and pull, chasing hats, and figuring out why something you can't see is so easy to feel.
The numbers 1 through 100 race each other up an apple tree in a rhyming chant, piling higher and higher until bumblebees threaten trouble at the top.
A young boy builds a whole traffic world out of everyday objects — records, shoe boxes, crayons, dandelions — and sends cars, helicopters, and fire engines zooming through it.
A wacky crew of hippos, cats, pigs, and cows count from a quiet One all the way up to a LOUD LOUD LOUD Ten — then back down to quiet One again.
An alphabet safari where each letter, from A to Z, transforms into an endangered animal — a Chinese Alligator, a Grevy's Zebra — through bold, animal-shaped letterforms.
Familiar nursery rhymes get an Alaskan makeover, swapping in snow geese, musk oxen, sea otters, and Arctic foxes as the North Country's wild critters take center stage.
