About this title

Synopsis

First and foremost, this is a beautiful story about a girl who learns to count. However, most of us have forgotten how we became skilled counters, and few know that in doing so we also learn concepts from higher mathematics. If you are curious to know why you can count or if you want to do some exercises together with children to help them on their way to start counting, then this is the book for you. There is something for everyone in the book and you will enjoy it as an exploring kid or as a caring parent, as well as a seasoned mathematician. This book illustrates and thoroughly explains a number of key scenarios on the way towards counting, with pointers to anyone who wants to dig deeper into the presented subjects. It is time to learn how to learn to count!
