From One to Ten

A bright and vivacious counting book for the very young featuring the paintings of celebrated artist and author Mies van Hout

How many whiskers does the cat have? How about the crocodile’s teeth, or the octopus’s arms? With vivid colours and energetic kid-friendly animal illustrations, this concept book doubles up the learning opportunities by including numbers and descriptive words matched to celebrated artist Mies van Hout’s striking art. Little ones can count the fish’s stripes and the monkey’s fingers, or learn the letters in words such as whiskers, wings, and ears.

Rendered in bold hues that appeal to babies and pre-schoolers alike, this sturdy counting book will be a reading-time favorite.
