Description
This bright book of numbers pairs bold figures with friendly little characters, so counting becomes something to look at and point to together. The cover reads Baby's First Book of Numbers in big, multicoloured letters, framed by two rows of smiling pictures: a spotted dog, a red apple, a white cat, a pink balloon, a lion, a sun peeping over a cloud, a bunny and an egg in its cup. Inside, a large number fills one page while the facing page carries that many characters to count, such as five egg cups beside the 5 and ten puppies beside the 10. The colours are clear and cheerful, with pink, red, yellow, teal and blue doing most of the work.
We love it for quiet moments at home, whether on the sofa, at bedtime or on the floor during play. The simple pictures give you plenty to talk about as you turn the pages: count the eggs out loud, name the animals and trace the shape of each number with a finger. As a toy as much as a book, it earns a place in the playroom basket as well as on the nursery shelf. At 0.16KG it is light enough to tuck into a bag for visits and journeys, so a familiar favourite can come along wherever the day leads.
The book is square with neatly rounded corners and thick pages that lie open flat, which makes each number easy to see. To keep it bright, store it on a shelf away from damp and dust the cover with a soft dry cloth when it needs it. For a cheerful present, its bold cover needs little more than a ribbon. It also makes a happy first step into counting alongside favourite picture books at home.
