Lovely, simple, colorful illustrations of ten kinds of objects framed by a window that are finally shown in a complete picture. The objects are:
1 moon,
2 clouds,
3 hills,
4 streams,
5 fish,
6 trees,
7 cranes,
8 blackbirds,
9 horses,
10 stars.
So, it's not exactly the order of Creation, but it does include a lot of what's created and the final picture feels as if the creatures mentioned were fruitful and multiplied. And, I love the artwork.
In other words, it's primarily a good counting book that teaches numbers and encourages you to count what is in the concluding panorama. And if I want to add meaning that may not have been originally intended, it's my right as a reader and appreciator of pretty pictures.
Kindergartners enjoyed counting the objects. ( )
