Fruits by Valerie Bloom
How much fruit do you think one small girl can manage to eat in one day? In the case of the narrator of this counting poem, the answer is "a lot"! Count from one to ten and learn the names of some Caribbean fruits, and find out what happens after eating a cocktail of mangoes, bananas and more.
