Caribbean Counting Poem by Pamela Mordecai



Author & Illustrator: Pamela Mordecai

One by one, one by one
Waves are dancing in the sun
Two by two, two by two
Seashells pink and purply blue
Three by three, three by three
Little boats put out to seas
Four by four, four by four
Children fishing on the shore
Five by five, five by five
Little walking fish arrive
Six by six, six by six
Pelicans performing tricks
Seven by seven, seven by seven
Puffy clouds patrolling heaven
Eight by eight, eight by eight
Fishes nibbling juicy bait
Nine by nine, nine by nine
Taking home a catch that’s fine
Ten by ten, ten by ten
Tomorrow we will come again
