Quilt Counting uses rhythmic verse to count up to 10 and then back down with each page consisting of 4 lines of verse. While counting up, the rhymes involve paraphernalia used for quilt making such as thread, scissors, and pin cushions. While counting down, the rhymes relate to the farming landscape. Ransome’s illustrations are effective and add much to the book. However, the rhyming verses are often forced and would be difficult for younger children to read and understand.
