About This Book

It provides a bridge between simple play and structured learning, allowing children to feel a sense of mastery as they turn each page to reveal a new number. Petr Horacek uses vibrant, textured illustrations to guide children through a counting journey from one to ten. Each page features a pop-up numeral and a corresponding group of animals, such as leopards, penguins, and fish. The book emphasizes the joy of discovery and the pride that comes with successfully identifying objects and numbers. This is an ideal choice for parents who want to foster a love for books and numbers simultaneously. The sturdy pop-up elements make it a high-energy reading experience that rewards curious fingers, making it perfect for the 1 to 4 age range as they transition into more complex cognitive tasks.
