  • Interest Level: Kindergarten - Grade 2
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

Tally McNally is an alley cat who loves to tally! He keeps track of all sorts of contests—who wins the most races, who is the tallest, who can climb the most trees, and more. When the results are counted up, Tally is always the winner.

One rainy day, Tally competes to become the “wettest cat.” But he goes too far and gets into a jam. Will his friends—who lose to him tally after tally—find a way to save him?

Reviews

Kirkus Reviews

“Trudy Harris’s rhyming verses have a kind of jazzy beat that fits with the alley cats. Andrew N. Harris’s illustrations anthropomorphize his subjects, clothing them and giving them eyebrows and human-like eyes—both of which get a lot of use, especially when it comes to the other cats’ putting up with the fraudulent tallies. Backmatter teaches readers how to use tally marks to count objects. Math and a lesson in friendship rolled into one.” —Kirkus Reviews

“This concept book would work equally well in the classroom or at storytime.” —School Library Journal
