Description
This first book of numbers counts from 1 to 10 with a cheerful cast of animals, each spread given a big, bold numeral and a bright illustration to match. A friendly tiger in a red top and pink bow tie fronts the cover, ringed by the numbers one to ten in pastel pinks, yellows, greens and oranges against a teal blue. Inside, the tiger sails a little brown boat for number one, a yellow squirrel holds an acorn with another at its feet for number two, and a brown dog in a party hat sits beside six colourful bones. The book is 15cm square and 1.1cm thick, so it sits easily in small hands.
We see it as a first counting book for the nursery shelf, the bedtime pile or the changing bag, ready whenever there is a quiet moment to share. Each spread gives a number and something to count, so you can point, count aloud together and turn the page to see what comes next. The vibrant colours and simple, characterful animals make it a lovely book for reading side by side, and the back cover carries a short line about counting in English, French, German and Spanish.
It is made with thick card, so the pages feel sturdy and are easy for little fingers to turn, and the rounded corners give it a neat, friendly shape. The bright, flat colours are printed right across each spread. To keep it looking its best, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth and store it away from damp. It is small enough to tuck into a bag for days out, and it makes a cheerful gift wrapped up alongside a soft toy or a favourite picture book.
