Beyond a simple counting lesson, this book acts as a gallery of stunning primate portraits that invite long, thoughtful gazes. While the primary goal is counting from one to ten, the emotional weight lies in the connection between the reader and the animals. Anthony Browne uses expressive, soulful eyes to bridge the gap between humans and primates, fostering a sense of empathy and kinship. It is an ideal choice for toddlers and preschoolers who are beginning to notice details in art and who are ready to see themselves reflected in the eyes of a gorilla or a chimpanzee.
