Title: A Pod of Orcas
Description: There is so much to count at the seashore - one lighthouse, two freighters, three eagles - and on and on, until you get to ten. Then a pod of orcas explodes out of the sea - so many, you can't begin to add them up. But wait. At the end of the day, you can count from ten all the way down again, as ten sailboats, nine fishboats, eight beach umbrellas - and on and on - gradually settle for the evening or pack up and drift away.<br><br>

A gentle and poetic counting book by the award-winning author of <i>Waiting for the Whales</i> and <i>Jessie's Island</i>, Sheryl McFarlane's <i>A Pod of Orcas</i> is just the right bedtime read for eager little counters. Artist Kirsti Anne Wakelin makes her picture book debut with exquisite watercolor paintings that glow with dreamy light and warmth.<br><br>

Parents and educators will appreciate the simple, yet effective design. Each number appears spelled out and in numerical form. And small pictorial "clues" will lead pre-readers to every counting subject.
