Book excerpt: Walking, talking numbers. Dancing frogs. A wandering group of lost letters. The One and Only 1, 2, 3 Book stars a number 1 with a high opinion of itself, but it must compete for attention in this humorous counting book from artist R. O. Blechman. By the time the pages are brimming with numeric activity and the one and only 1 begins searching for the solo spotlight of a less-crowded space, readers will be clamoring to count down from 10 and start all over again!
