Reach for this book when you want to transform a standard lesson into a playful bonding moment with your toddler. Lauren Child uses the beloved sibling duo of Charlie and Lola to turn basic numeracy into an exploration of a child's imaginative world. It is perfect for children who are beginning to recognize numbers but thrive on storytelling rather than rote memorization. The book goes beyond simple counting to showcase the warm, patient relationship between a big brother and his quirky younger sister. By framing numbers through Lola's unique lens, such as counting her specific belongings or imagining ten elephants, the story validates a child's creativity. It is an ideal choice for parents looking for a gentle, humorous way to build early math skills while celebrating the joy of everyday domestic life.
