Synopsis: Counting Rhymes is a Little Golden Book (#361) written and illustrated by Sharon Kane. This charming book introduces young children to numbers and counting through a collection of short, rhythmic poems. Each rhyme features playful illustrations that reflect simple counting concepts, like “one little puppy” or “five bouncing balls,” helping children learn to associate numbers with objects and actions in a fun, engaging way.

The book blends traditional nursery-rhyme-style language with colorful, vintage-style illustrations typical of 1970s Golden Books. It's designed for preschoolers and early readers, making it a gentle and nostalgic learning tool for both kids and their parents.

Condition: The book has very light wear on the front cover's top right corner tips and there is a name written in the "this book belongs to" space on the inside, but it is otherwise in excellent condition (see photos).
