John’s new book, Boom Chicka Rock, has just been published by Philomel, a division of Penguin Putman. It teaches young children to count through the lively antics of mice who live behind the numbers on a clock. The characters seem to leap off the pages with the use of dance styles that include everything from the jitterbug to the tango. Numbers have never been this much fun! Older readers will love the toe-tapping rhythm and humor in the text. There will be an accompanying CD with two versions.
