* "A rollicking tutu lovefest." — Kirkus Reviews, starred review* "Irresistible... Wacky and wonderful." — School Library Journal, starred review

In this jubilant rhyming romp, a penguin, a bear, a toucan, and even a gnu (who knew?) are all wearing their tutus today. As a parade of other curious critters join the fun — I know a ewe with a new tutu. You do? I do. Woo-hoo! — the number of tutus grows, until they reach 10 tutus. Then it's time to dance!

Abundant alliteration and rollicking rhythms will have little ones laughing and dancing till they drop — and joyfully learning to count along the way.

From the Publisher

★ 2019-11-24
Under the guise of counting from one to 10, exuberant animals express their love for tutus.

A goofy-looking penguin declares its love for the pink tutu around its waist. Soon other animals join in: a bear, in a double-tiered purple tutu; a bug—in a "teeny tiny tutu," of course; a toucan; a gnu—"who knew?"; two tunas; a ewe; an elephant; and a crocodile. But this is much more than a counting book; it is a rollicking tutu lovefest expressed with plenty of alliteration, rhythm, and, most especially, a clever play on homophones: " ‘I know a ewe with a new tutu.' / ‘You do?' / ‘I do.' / ‘Woo-hoo!' / ‘Yodel-lay-hee-EWE!' " And that's not all; there's even a little sharing thrown in for good measure when the elephant reveals "I wish I had a tutu too," and the crocodile responds with "I have TWO tutus! I can share my blue tutu!" With 10 creatures now in tutus, "ENOUGH with the tutu talk already. It's time to… / DANCE!" What fun, and then: "Phew." Burach's bright cartoons are whimsical and humorous, the animals' faces brimming with expression. Large, pink numerals appear on recto in each spread that introduces a new number while on verso they are spelled out in pink capital letters.

Who knew a tutu-clad clan could have so much fun? (Board book. 2-4)
