"A boy wishes to be a monster for one day, but doesn't know what he's in for in this picture book with a split-page novelty element"--

This sparkly board book features clever word illustrations.

A white-bearded farmer lives the simple life with a few animals that he names One through Five. Children don't find out which number matches which animal, though, until they follow the farmer through a visually clever dream. 'It's almost Christmas, and it hasn't snowed yet,' says the farmer. But as he sleeps, he envisions snow falling, covering each of his animals, while the text counts along.
