Down by the marsh,

by the sleepy,

slimy marsh,

one duck

gets stuck in the muck . . . Can two fish, tails going swish, help? What about three moose, munching on spruce? Bright, spirited illustrations by Jane Chapman enhance this one-of-a-kind counting tale by Phyllis Root -- a feast of sounds and numbers that will have listeners scrambling to join in the slippy, sloppy fun.
