Any Disers remember this children's book?

[stacy347]

I have looked everywhere for a certain book from 30something years ago that my mom read to me. It was a Little Golden Book and it had to do with animals and counting. The only animal I can specifically remember are the frogs.
I look whenever I go to a bookstore, yard sale, resale shop and I can not find the darn thing. I have no idea what the title was. I have found other LGBs that have counting and/or animals but none with the frogs.

Does anyone here remember this book?

If that isn't it, there are several Collector's Guides for Little Golden Books. You might find it identified in one of those

the one i've got ("my big golden counting book") has-

1 little puppy
2 little wooly lambs
3 (mother horse, daddy horse and baby horse)
4 furry purry kittens
5 (bunny finds five cabbages)
6 eggs/chicks
7 baby ducklings
8 wise fish
9 wild geese
10 (nuts a little squirrel found)

then it goes into several pages of counting games (with butterflies, a kitty, and all the other animals but sorry-no frogs).

it's from a series of compilation books that golden put out of "favorite golden books" that dated from the 1940's (and it was published in the 70's so you might do a search for other editions from that series).

you might check out golden book's website-if they have it you can order it personalized

Thanks for the link! I have my own Golden Book I'm looking for about a little boy wanting to get a rocking horse for Christmas.

Is it "Rocking Horse christmas" by Mary Pope Osborne? Take a look at the picture here:

Is it possibly a story from "My Christmas Treasury"? Take a look at this pic for reference:

Ezra Jack Keats has a counting book "Over in the Meadow". I can't remember if there are frogs, and it's not a LGB but it is a counting book with animals.

There's also apparently a story by D.H Lawrence called "The Rocking Horse".
