Counting on snow / Maxwell Newhouse.
The book invites children to count down from ten crunching caribou to one silent moose, finding other northern animals from seals to wolves to snowy owls along the way. As the animals appear, so does more and more snow, until it s a character too, illuminating the differences between light and dark, sky and earth.

Rerendered in a board book format, a simple, evocative counting book incorporates bold, contrasting images of Arctic elements while inviting young children to practice counting down, from 10 crunching caribou to one silent moose. By the creator ofLet's Go for a Ride . - Random House, Inc.
Maxwell Newhouse, folk artist extraordinaire, has created a unique counting book. The premise is simple. He invites children to count with him from ten crunching caribou down to one lonely moose, by finding other northern animals - from seals to wolves to snowy owls - as they turn the pages. But as the animals appear, so does the snow, until it's a character too, obliterating light and dark, sky and earth.
A gorgeous exploration of the isolation and the beauty of northern winter, Maxwell Newhouse has created a deceptively simple picture book that can be enjoyed by all ages.
