The Eleven Finger Creature is a creature from the book One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish and Dr. Seuss's 123. He has eleven fingers (7 on the right hand and 4 on the left).
In the book, when Jay approaches him, he says to himself, "SAY! Look at his fingers!". Then he counts how many fingers he sees. But then he asks himself, "How many fingers do I see?". Then he counts them. (In the video --when Jay asks himself how many fingers he sees-- the Eleven Finger Creature's fingers get erased as if he made a fist. As he --Jay-- counts, the fingers are erased, then they appear one by one during the count.) Finally, Jay says, "HE HAS ELEVEN!". Kay is excited about how new this is (saying, "Eleven!? This is something new!"). Then she wishes that she had 11 fingers too.
We also see him in Dr. Seuss's 123, where his fingers are counted.
