~ Oversize Paperback (19.5 x 28.5cm)
One fine morning, a rooster decides to set off and see the world. Soon, he finds himself joined by two cats, then three frogs, then four turtles, then five fish, until, one group at a time, his new friends decide to head home. This leaves the rooster alone again, and ready to return to his own comfortable home as well.
With the bold, vibrantly colorful collage illustrations that are signature to Eric Carle throughout, Rooster's Off to See the World is a beguiling story that provides a simple introduction to number sets, as well as addition and subtraction.
