This charming and whimsical book follows a family from its city home to vacation in Maine - counting the items they bring and see along the way. Readers can follow along from the One baby the story begins with to the Twenty fireflies the family catches on its last night in Maine.
Maggie Smith perfectly captures the essence of a trip to Maine with her amusing illustrations, and they are sure to keep children counting long after the book is closed.
Down East Books® was the book publishing division of Down East magazine. It published its first book, Leroy the Lobster and Crabby Crab, in 1967, and this beloved children’s book is still in print. Even today, this book, along with the nearly 1,000 other books published since, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Maine. The Maine mystique is difficult to express in writing, but you know it when you arrive here and feel it.
