About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to transform a routine learning moment into a high-energy, tactile bonding experience. If your toddler is showing a budding interest in numbers but has a short attention span, this book provides the perfect blend of visual stimulation and physical interaction. It is not just about counting; it is about the joy of discovery. Through its clever die-cut tabs and vibrant illustrations by Eric Barclay, the book introduces a colorful pack of dogs that grow in number with every page turn. The sturdy board format is designed for little hands to master, encouraging independence as they flip through the canine parade. It is an ideal choice for building early numeracy skills in a way that feels like a game rather than a lesson, making it a staple for the 0 to 3 age range.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a purely secular, joyful exploration of numbers and animals.
Ideal Reader
A two-year-old who is obsessed with family pets and is just beginning to point at objects while saying "one, two, three." It is perfect for a child who enjoys tactile feedback and wants a book they can "operate" themselves using the tabs.
Parent Prep
This book can be read cold. Parents might want to practice pointing at each dog individually to model one-to-one correspondence for their child. A parent might choose this after noticing their child is struggling to slow down and count objects one-by-one, or if the child is specifically asking to see every dog they pass on a walk.
