I Wonder ... is a delightful, rhyming picturebook about a little girl who muses about what life would be like if numbers ceased to be (what if there were no 5?) or cows, hens and the like quit doing their jobs to produce milk and eggs! The colorful, cartoony illustrations reflect the spirit of whimsy and imagination run rampant in this read-aloud storybook. "All the beautiful clovers / with leaves up to 4, / would only have 3, / if '4' were no more. // And what would all / of the animals do, / if in stead of 4 legs, / were walking on 2?"
