Maurice Sendak's 'One Was Johnny' is a delightful counting book that follows a young boy named Johnny whose quiet home is invaded by ten increasingly silly characters. As each new intruder arrives, Johnny counts them, and then, with a clever plan, he counts them out again, restoring peace. This rhyming story is perfect for children aged 3-7, offering a fun and engaging way to practice counting from one to ten and back down, while also subtly exploring themes of problem-solving and managing frustration.
