The amazing BobThe amazing BoyntonBecause who else but Sandra Boynton could imagine 15 Bobs in one book? Actually, that's 14 Bobs, and one Simon James Alexander Ragsdale the Third (he's a turtle), which gives Fifteen Animals the added dimension of being a unique counting book--count the Bobs, count the pets, count the bunnies, count the fish. Fifteen Animals also comes with a free song available via download. It's all the energy and appeal of Boynton: the lively language, distinctive illustrations, and inimitable characters. And music. And counting. And, for the first time, a person character, an earnest little boy who loves animals and happily sings:
I really like animals, I like them a lot. Fifteen animals is what I've got. I've got fifteen animals. They're friendly and tame, and I've given each one a special name.
