About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to transform a routine learning moment into a snuggly session of physical affection. It is the perfect choice for parents of toddlers who are just starting to explore numbers and need a high-engagement, tactile experience to stay focused. The book uses a sweet interaction between a mother pig and her piglet to frame the concept of counting from one to ten. Through simple rhymes and colorful wooden beads, the story emphasizes that numbers are not just abstract symbols but can represent kisses, hugs, and moments of love. It is ideally suited for children aged 0 to 3, particularly those who enjoy 'fidget' elements or carrying their own books around. You will appreciate how it reinforces the bond between parent and child while building the foundational blocks of early numeracy in a low-pressure, joyful environment.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a secular, purely celebratory look at the parent-child bond.
Ideal Reader
A two-year-old who is beginning to show interest in 'how many' things there are, but who still needs the sensory input of moving objects to stay engaged with a story. It is also excellent for a child who may be experiencing a bit of 'separation anxiety' and needs a ritualistic reminder of a parent's constant affection.
