Reach for this book when your toddler is starting to show interest in numbers but has a short attention span for traditional, busy counting books. Olivia Counts offers a sophisticated yet accessible introduction to numeracy, using the beloved and spunky piglet Olivia to guide children through the numbers one to ten. It speaks to a child's growing sense of pride and accomplishment as they master a new skill. While many concept books are visually overwhelming, this board book maintains the signature Ian Falconer minimalist aesthetic: charcoal drawings with bold splashes of red. This design helps toddlers focus on the quantity being presented without distraction. It is an ideal choice for parents who value both early childhood development and artistic quality, providing a playful way to build vocabulary and math foundations in a stylish package.
