The talented Viviane Schwarz brings a feline spin to counting in this very funny concept book.

At first Tiny Cat has none. Then, what’s that? One! Two! Three! And . . . four! Oops, bonk, now there’s more! Soon Tiny Cat has as many red balls as you can get. Then some extra. Is that too many? Will Tiny Cat ever have just enough?

Editorial Reviews

'Counting With Tiny Cat,' written and illustrated by Viviane Schwarz (‘Is There a Dog in This Book?’), is partly a study in counting, and even more the record of a cat’s futile pursuit of personal fulfillment and identity through the acquisition of little red balls of yarn.
—New York Times Book Review

Schwarz’s crackling visual humor comes through in Tiny Cat’s exuberant reactions and movements, and for readers not quite ready to see Tiny Cat go, the endpapers offer additional misadventures.

Counting With Tiny Cat…is partly a study in counting, and even more the record of a cat's futile pursuit of personal fulfillment and identity through the acquisition of little red balls of yarn.

Schwarz (There Are Cats in This Book) introduces another charismatic feline in Tiny Cat, a big-eyed kitty drawn in calligraphic ink, who is besieged by balls of red yarn. When “none” are present, Tiny Cat wears an expression of incredulous disgust. “One” ball sparks the cat’s interest, “three” are perfect for juggling, and Schwarz moves on to more general descriptions from there: “about a dozen,” “lots,” and “too many” in a yarn avalanche. Schwarz’s crackling visual humor comes through in Tiny Cat’s exuberant reactions and movements, and for readers not quite ready to see Tiny Cat go, the endpapers offer additional misadventures. Ages 2–5. (July)
