What is Fifteen animals! about?

An animal-loving boy introduces his fifteen pets, all with the same wonderfully unusual name: Bob. There are fourteen Bobs, plus Simon James Alexander Ragsdale the Third, a very special turtle. As the animals are counted, readers can spot bunnies, fish and other lively pets while enjoying the boy’s cheerful song about his animal-filled home. With playful repetition, amusing details and bold illustrations, this energetic counting book invites young children to join in, count along and meet every friendly Bob.
