One hundred animals parade across the front to the back cover of this book! So the parade has begun even before the reader opens the book. What a parade it is! Inside the book the parade continues with 100 whimsical bears, followed by 100 pigs, followed by 100 carpenter beetles, 100 rabbits, and 100 birds snaking their way over and around the pages. [Yes, there are 100 of each, I counted them all.] The first animal on each left hand page after the page-turn says what number he is in the parade. There are often conversation bubbles telling the reader (or counter) the number in line of that particular animal. The number always ends in a zero, but not all numbers ending in zero have a conversation bubble. Some of the parade  members ask questions along the way, too,  like, “Can you see a carrot?” (p. 5)  So a “Where’s Waldo?” aspect is added to the story.  At the end of the parade the animals are jostled together at the “Animal Festival!”

The very last page states,” There’s a snail, a ladybug and an ant in every scene. Find them all!”
