This book has got legs--the question is, just how many are there? In this zany, laugh-out-loud counting book, little readers are challenged to figure out how many legs there would be in a room if lots of many-legged friends showed up. How many legs would there be if a dog walked in with a chimpanzee? Or a frog hopped in on a kangaroo? Or a squid rode in on a buffalo? Hilarious illustrations and fun text ratchet up the giggles as each new friend joins the party. Can you keep track of all the wacky, multiple-legged "guests" that turn up on the page? Maybe or maybe not, but you'll sure have a hoot along the way. How Many Legs? is a book that you can count on--guaranteed--from the masterful writer's mind behind Leave Me Alone.
