This beautifully illustrated children's book takes readers on a gentle counting adventure in a peaceful salt marsh one fall day in New England. As the story unfolds, one crow lands on a nest, soon joined by another, and then another, until ten crows gather high above the shimmering marsh grasses. Each page introduces a new number with simple, rhythmic text and vivid original artwork that captures the magic of the marsh coming to life.
Along the way, children will delight in spotting other animals that share the habitat, ducks swimming in the river, a deer grazing in the marsh, a rabbit peeking from the reeds, busy squirrels scampering up nearby trees, and proud turkeys strutting through the tall grass. The engaging nature scenes and beautiful illustrations help children develop counting skills while fostering an appreciation for wildlife, the changing seasons, and the beauty of the natural world.
