Classic Sendak illustrations, a fun rhyming scheme, silly animals, and a bit of a story to go along with your counting lesson. What more could you want from a counting book? I can't wait for my son to be old enough to count along with me.

I wouldn’t say this was Maurice’s best by any means. This book is ok, but it’s dated for beginners. I think this is good for people who want to read Maurice’s whole catalog, like me.
It’s a short book. Johnny lives alone, happily. Each number brings another animal inside his house creating havoc. At 10, Johnny screams that he will eat anyone left. So, each number down, we lose an animal until Johnny is happily alone.
The nephew thought Johnny was funny and some of the animals like the monkey delivering the mail, but he didn’t think it a great book. He did read the entire thing to me. He gave this 2 stars. He thought it looked like a child drew it, which I’m sure Maurice intended it to look because I know he can paint beautifully in his other works.
