Rooster wants to see the world and sets off. On the way he meets up with various creatures in a counting book: 2 cats; 3 frogs; 4 turtles; and 5 fish. However, they really haven't made many preparations, so, in reverse order, they all go home.
The illustrations are done in patterned paper. They are colorful and interesting.
