Synopsis

With Alan Baker's playful little rabbits as their guide, very young children will learn readily as they enjoy the colorful mix of animals, objects, vehicles and explore the interactive games on each page. Can you find the seven penguins? Who has the most strawberries? How many pairs of shoes are there? Which car came first in the race? Little Rabbit is discovering numbers mean fun and games... and numbers are everywhere. Parents and teachers who are encouraging children to learn to count, will appreciate the variety of early numeracy skills that will help to give pre-schoolers a headstart at school. Whether it is a two-year-old learning to count from one to ten, a three-year-old fascinated by numbers found in the world around them, or a four-year-old discovering simple mathematical language -- "more", "most", "fewer" and "all" -- each young child coming to this book will get an early grasp of numerical skills. Helpful notes, developed in consultation with an expert, on how to use the book make it fun and easy for parents and children to share.

Review:

“This is a wonderful introduction to numbers because, in addition to counting and identifying numbers, it presents numbers in more useful modes, such as pairing, sorting and matching, which promotes understanding rather than rote memorization...The colorful layout is challenging without being confusing, and the use of rabbits personalizes the tasks. ” ―Children's Literature
