About This Book
Eric Carle's classic 1, 2, 3 to the Zoo is a captivating wordless counting book that takes young readers on a visual journey. A train steadily fills with zoo animals, with each car carrying one more animal than the last, culminating in ten birds. Carle's signature collage illustrations are vibrant and engaging, encouraging children to count, identify animals, and follow the train's progress. It's an excellent tool for teaching early numeracy, fostering observation skills, and sparking conversations about animals and journeys, suitable for ages 4-11.
