Description
This cheerful first book of numbers fills its thick card pages with the friendly animals of the Wild Wonders design. The cream cover is busy with a parrot, a spotted big cat, a lion curled round in orange, a butterfly, an elephant and a toucan, with the words Baby's First Book of Numbers in bright lettering at its centre. Inside, its spreads pair a large number on a block of colour with that many animals to count on a cream page: a yellow 3 on orange faces three spotted cats, and a green 7 on blue sits beside seven tortoises with patterned shells. It is a neat square, 15cm across each side and 1.1cm thick, easy to hold open and turn.
It belongs on a nursery bookshelf, in a bag for days out or beside the reading chair, ready for a few minutes of counting together. The layout keeps things clear: one number, one colour and a group of creatures to point at and count aloud, which makes it a lovely book to share at bedtime. The words printed on the back cover promise to make learning to count fun, and the vibrant colours and simple illustrations live up to it. It makes a bright, thoughtful present for anyone who loves playful animal art.
The book is made with thick card, so its pages feel substantial and turn with ease, and the corners are softly rounded. It closes into a slim square that slips onto a shelf or into a bag without fuss. To keep the cover looking its best, wipe it with a soft dry cloth and store it somewhere dry, as card is happiest away from damp. For a gift, wrap it on its own or tuck it into a basket with a soft toy and a card, and the cheerful cover will raise a smile the moment the paper comes off.
