Striking prints made with potatoes and acrylic paints illustrate an unusual counting book that uses fruits and vegetables as its subject. The numbers from one to ten and then 20, 30, 40, 50 and 100 (sunflower seeds) are presented in art that is at once sophisticated and child-friendly. Instructions for making potato prints are included in a note at the back. (Ages 3-6)

When you're done with counting, you can learn how to make beautiful pictures with paint and potatoes -- just like the ones Diana Pomeroy created for One Potato. Simple instructions for potato printing are included at the end of the book. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
