10 Yellow Bananas by Helen Ross (Illustrated by Dee Texidor)

“This charming reverse counting rhyme of the teddy bears that are stolen by ten bananas goes hilariously down the number chain, through all the types of fruit. The bears belong to 'nine sleepy pears' who are followed by lemons, apples, watermelons and the rest — right down to one small berry. The ridiculous procession proceeds down the street, risking life and limb as they chase the bananas, until stopped by what could have been a dreadful calamity.” Dr Virginia Lowe
