Winner of the 1997 Nestlé Smarties Book Prize (Bronze)A wonderfully illustrated Caribbean poem that helps children learn to count. How much fruit do you think one small girl can manage to eat in one day? In the case of the narrator of this counting poem, the answer is a lot!

Packed with sumptuous illustrations by David Axtell, Valerie Bloom's brilliant rhyming text makes this Caribbean counting poem an absolute joy to read aloud. | Fruits by Valerie Bloom, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
