 "Counting Crocodiles" Children's Book by Judy Sierra and illustrated by Will Hillenbrand
"Poor Monkey. All she has to eat are sour lemons --- morning, noon, and night. One day she spies a banana tree on a faraway island, but the only way to get there is to navigate the crocodile-infested waters of the Sillabobble Sea. That's no problem when you're a brave and clever monkey who knows how to count to ten and back."
And back is the important part, since the monkey gets the crocodiles to line up for her to walk to the island while counting crocodiles doing funny things.
