All of the animals in the train are going to the zoo—one elephant, two hippos, three giraffes, all the way up to ten birds! Eric Carle's classic counting book has never been so much fun. Kids will love to color their favorite animals and complete the activities on every page. They can unfold the back cover to see the animals play at the zoo and to practice their counting. Annotation Each car on the train has one more zoo animal than the one before, from the first car with an elephant to the last with ten birds.

　　这本书一开始是一部火车头，列车上载满了各种动物，一只大象、二只河马、三只长颈鹿…如此递增变化，不同的动物数量也不同。最後，所有的动物被载到动物园，融合在一起了。当然你还可以把所有的动物全部再数一次，而且除了动物，里面还有形形色色的各种人，呈现一幅热闹的景象。如果读者有注意到，每一页都有一只小小的老鼠藏在角落喔！而在书页底下，列车的车箱和动物也会愈来愈多，当载满动物到动物园後，车箱就空了。

作者简介

Eric Carle is the author and illustrator of more than seventy books for children, many of them bestsellers. Born in Syracuse, New York, he moved to Germany with his parents when he was six years old. He studied at the Academy of Graphic Arts in Stuttgart before returning to the United States, where he worked as a graphic designer for The New York Times and later as art director for an international advertising agency. His first two books, 1,2,3 to the Zoo and The Very Hungry Caterpillar, gained him immediate international recognition. The latter title, now considered a modern classic, has sold more than 30 million copies and has been translated into forty-eight languages. Eric Carle and his wife, Barbara, divide their time between the mountains of North Carolina and the Florida Keys.

　　艾瑞·卡尔，1929年出生于纽约，1935年随父母返德国定居。艾瑞·卡尔讨厌德国式的教育，权威教育下的学校生活及时代的战乱，让他的少年时光并不快乐。战后，从小就展露绘画天分且向往自由浪漫的艾瑞·卡尔，在中学绘画老师的推荐及母亲的鼓励下，进入斯图加特艺术学院学习了四年的商业设计，一毕业即在时尚杂志担任艺术总监。1952年，艾瑞·卡尔再次踏上他要实现梦想的土地——美国。因缘巧合，艾瑞·卡尔得到李欧·李奥尼的赏识和推荐，顺利开始他在《纽约时报》的工作，发挥美术兼广告设计的长才。1960年成立了个人工作室，辛勤工作之外，他更渴望蜕变、渴望创作！
　　1967年，艾瑞·卡尔首次有机会为孩子的书配上插画，这次充满乐趣、大胆发挥创意的过程，让他感觉畅快淋漓，也引领他日后走向为儿童创作图画书的道路。他年近40才开始创作图画书，迄今为止，已经创作了《棕色的熊、棕色的熊，你在看什么？》、《好饿的毛毛虫》、《海马先生》、《爸爸，我要月亮》等70多本色彩缤纷、富含想象力的拼贴画风格的图画书，被翻译成了多种语言，小读者遍布世界各地，并荣获多项世界著名儿童图画书奖。他笔下那条最著名的毛毛虫，已被翻译成近50种语言版本，销量突破3300万，风行世界40余年。
