    About this ebook

    Don't you hate when your eyebrows fall into your soup? Dig them out with a SIX—it's a great eyebrow scoop!

    If you ever thought that numbers were only for counting—think again! At Grandpa Gazillion's Number Yard, numbers have all sorts of uses that can come in handy when in a pinch. For instance, a two can be used as a saxophone, a ten makes a great pogo stick, and a fourteen is a terrific sailboat. So head over to Grandpa Gazillion's Number Yard and stock up on numbers, because you never know when you just might need them!

    In her signature style, Laurie Keller has created a wonderfully inventive counting book—from one to twenty—that will keep children laughing and learning.

    Laurie Keller

    Laurie Keller is the bestselling author-illustrator of many books for kids, including Do Unto Otters; Potato Pants!; The Scrambled States of America; the Geisel Award-winning We Are Growing!; and Arnie the Doughnut, as well as three books in the Adventures of Arnie the Doughnut chapter book series. Growing up in Michigan, Laurie always loved to draw, paint and write stories. She earned a B.F.A. at Kendall College of Art and Design, then worked at Hallmark Cards in Kansas City as a greeting card illustrator for seven years. One night, the idea for a children’s book popped into her head and after showing the story to several publishers in New York City, she quit her job and moved there. The following year, that story idea was a published book—The Scrambled States of America. Laurie loved living in NYC, but she returned to her home state, where she lives in the woods along the shores of Lake Michigan.

    • 4/5
      Silly, whacky fun.
    • 5/5
      I give it five out of five stars because the book was so funny
    • 2/5
      I like Laurie Keller generally, but this book was odd. If it's a counting book, it completely fails, since the numbers are not obvious or clearly laid out. The business of the illustrations negates any attempted instructional effect. The idea is not un-charming, but the conceit of numbers being used for other things is going to go way over the average child's head.
    • 2/5
      Grandpa Gazillion and Hildegarde show many different uses for the numbers one through twenty at their number yard.
