Featuring the clever wordplay of Ben Clanton and playful illustrations by Jessixa Bagley–both of whom are award-winning children’s book authors and illustrators–Curious EnCOUNTers will have children laughing while learning to count from 1 to 13.
Children will have fun learning to count from 1 to 13 in this clever and imaginative book featuring Pacific Northwest critters engaged in curious activities and woven together by a young girl who goes on a hike. Readers will join her in unexpected, silly encounters along the way, such as one moose making a movie, five wolves weaving wool, and eight coyotes kayaking and canoeing. The young girl’s hike culminates in what may be the most curious encounter of all: many of the animals in the book enjoying a big picnic lunch together, pulling in humorous details from previous scenes.
With the visual humor in Jessixa Bagley’s illustrations, children will have fun learning to count to 13! And older readers will enjoy Ben Clanton’s clever and punny wordplay!
