The story of Deucalion begins with Zeus, who, disgusted by human evil, decides to bring a great flood upon mankind to punish them all, thus ending the Bronze Age. In his rampage, the rivers overflowed, the sea flooded the coastal plains, swallowed the foothills, and all mankind was wiped out - except for Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha, who were the only few survivors. They were saved by a warning given to them by Deucalion's father Prometheus, so they built a large chest in which they lasted nine whole days. The pair of survivors find themselves on Mount Parnassus – the only place the flood did not reach – and plead with Zeus to spare them. At the same time, he asks the goddess Themis for advice. The goddess of lawful order between humans and nature secretly advises them to "throw the bones of their great mother behind them". Deucalion and Pyrrha understood "mother" as Gaia - the mother of all living things, and "bones" as stone. So they threw stones over their shoulders, which soon began to lose their hardness and take on shapes. They gradually gained weight and the beginnings of a human form appeared. The parts that were soft and moist became skin, the rock veins became human veins, and bones grew from the hardest parts of the rocks. Stones thrown by Pyrrha spawned women. Men were born from the stones that Deucalion threw. And so the planet was once again filled with pure people who, relieved of the sins of their predecessors, could start a new era of humanity. This plate depicts stones thrown from the hands of Deucalion and Pyrrha. The decorative edges of the work represent a great flood followed by the formation of new life. The story of Deucalion represents the rebirth of humanity relieved of the sins of its ancestors and the legacy of our great mother Earth. This plate is part of the Metamorphoses Collection.

Beautiful book for children
Format: Hardcover
My children have two of Anno's books, this one as well as Anno's Italy. As an adult, I find the books beautiful in a very clean and simple way. The illustrations in Anno's Counting Book have a very classic look, and there are no words at all. I'm always surprised that my kids continue to request this book at bedtime, since there is really no story. The idea is pretty simple: there are 12 scenes, and scene number one has one of each item. Scene two has two of each item, etc. It took us a minute to realize that the 12 scenes also represent the 12 months of the year. What makes the book work is really the simplicity and universality of the illustrations.
It's great for younger kids in particular. My three year old just recently started understanding what numbers and counting really mean, so this book is a great way to continue developing his number sense. My five year old gets excited to pick items on each page to count. He's convinced he's going to find the wrong number of items on one of the pages (though he hasn't yet). My seven year old has mostly lost interest at this point.

Highly recommended!
Format: Hardcover
I first saw this book at a relative’s house and was immediately drawn in by its content. There’s no text at all, yet it captures children’s interest so strongly—especially when learning the concept of numbers. The illustrations are also beautiful. When my child didn’t yet understand numbers, it was still fun to recognize the animals or see what the characters in the pictures were doing. I really love this book.

A Multi-faceted, beautiful book for babies through primary grades.
Format: Hardcover
Our second generation is now loving this beautiful, clever, playful book. Although there are no words, the story line is a delight. A watercolored village develops one page to the next starting with 0 and ending with 12. The pictures add one item in each category for each new number, building on the previous scene. Readers can find and count buildings, children, adults, pine trees, cherry trees, and an assortment of animals. In addition, in a lovely subtle manner, the four northern hemisphere seasons pass from January to December. The details of adult and child activities through time and seasons can be noted. Anno's creativity in this genre is unsurpassed. For my children, and now for my grandson, this book evokes fascination on several levels both aesthetic and intellectual. Start using it as a baby word book, and it will last as a joy throughout early childhood. Not every baby book must be a board book. Teaching children to turn pages gently is easy to do and adds to the amazing, shared experience.

Gorgeous book!
Format: Hardcover
Read this over and over with my own children and they loved it. Buying for friends' children/grandchildren and they are loving it, too. Timeless, lots to capture kids' interest and counting. The suggested age is 3 and up, but we used it earlier than 3 years of age; it depends on the child. We're buying them now for newborns figuring they'll "grow into it."

A truly original concept picture book. Unlike most counting ...
Format: Hardcover
A truly original concept picture book. Unlike most counting concept books that only show one item type (like 2 balls on the page about 2) this book has many items to count on each number page (3 trees, 3 trains, 3 cows, etc, on the pages about the number 3). You have to search around to find each of the items because the author moves the items around each time. :) Yes, it's not as flashy, but it's got what really counts!
