Ten, Nine, Eight Board Book: A Caldecott Honor Award Winner (Caldecott Collection) Board book – Picture Book, September 20, 1996
Purchase options and add-ons
A Caldecott Honor Book and ALA Notable Book
A bedtime book and a counting book!
“A delightful bedtime book.”—New York Times
Acclaimed author Molly Bang shares the going-to-bed countdown in a loving family. “Ten small toes all washed and warm,” begins the story, and then young readers journey toward tuck-in time, counting down along with the story’s African-American father and daughter.
In the satisfying conclusion, one little sleepyhead settles in for the night. An award-winning classic, Ten, Nine, Eight has been comforting and delighting children and their parents for more than thirty years.
“This beguiling picture book, with a palette of eye-filling colors, appears to arise naturally from the love binding a father and his little ‘big’ girl who turn bedtime into playtime with a rhyming game.”—Publishers Weekly

Edited to add: Our second boy also loves this book as much as his older brother did. He especially loves to put his feet on the book to show that his toes match up with the little girl in the story. I've also started giving this as a new baby present to just about every new baby I know, and I've gotten nothing but compliments on it. Truly a lovely, timeless story!
