10 Little Hot Dogs by John Himmelman

Recommended for ages 2+

Video Summary

This book is about ten little hot dogs who share one chair. First, we start with one dog sitting on a chair, then we have two and then three! Slowly but surely, we count up to ten and have a little dog pile of ten hot dogs all fast asleep on the chair. One by one the dogs wake up and leave the chair. Starting from ten we count down to one. Now we are left with one little dog wide awake on the chair, ready to play and nine little dogs sleeping on the floor!
