About Book

Youngsters can rhyme their way from 1 to 10 with their favorite animals, and open the flaps to discover the tactile surprises in this adorable book. Young readers will also learn interesting animal anecdotes, like Why are an elephant’s ears so large? Large ears help elephants stay cool in hot weather by using them as a fan. How much does a cow drink? Adult cows drink about a bathtub full of water everyday! In the tradition of classic touch-and-feel books, One Weighs a Ton is sure to be a hit with its creative and stimulating design.

Reviews

Publishers Weekly

Using flaps and textures, Yoon's smart counting book also introduces some common animals and emphasizes asking questions. The book's title serves as its opening line, appearing opposite a number one imbued with sufficient elephantine characteristics (a stumpy trunk, gray skin and broad ear) to clue readers in to what animal waits behind the flap. Two flocked cows and six chickens with foil combs feature on subsequent flaps, as questions and answers (“Which dinosaur is the closest relative of the chicken? The Tyrannosaurus Rex!”) lend added interest throughout. Ages 1–4. (Oct.)
