Childrens Book-Count By Threes, It’s A Breeze! Poem by Christine K. Trease

Three bees
Six sticks
Nine fleas
Twelve chicks
Fifteen buns
Eighteen flowers
Twenty one suns
Twenty four hours
Twenty seven babies with
Thirty toys
Thirty three ladies who tend
Thirty six boys
Thirty nine mitts and
Forty two bats
Forty five hits giving
Forty eight stats
Fifty one bikes and
Fifty four scooters
Fifty seven trikes with
Sixty tooters
Sixty three books to read
Sixty six snacks
Sixty nine cooks to fill
Seventy two packs
Seventy five pops for the zoo,
Seventy eight bears
Eighty one hops from
Eighty four hares
Eighty seven pirates who don’t like rum.
Ninety tops that spin and hum.
Ninety three moms to give you a kiss.
Ninety six fairies to grant you a wish.
Ninety nine grandparents, uncles and aunts.
One hundred and two fellows who like to dance.
One hundred five light floating balloons.
One hundred eight coyotes who howl at the moon.
One hundred and eleven horses to mount.
One hundred and fourteen fish to count.
One hundred and seventeen silly cousins.
One hundred and twenty is a full ten dozen!
