About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their toddler is starting to point at objects and ask 'how many' or when they are looking for a gentle, repetitive way to introduce early numeracy. It is a perfect choice for those quiet moments of transition, such as winding down for a nap or sitting together in a cozy reading nook, where the goal is both education and bonding. This simple picture book features adorable hamsters to guide children through the numbers 1 to 10. Through vibrant imagery and a clear focus on each digit, it fosters a sense of pride and accomplishment as the child masters each page. It is developmentally tailored for the 1 to 4 age range, providing a joyful, low-pressure introduction to mathematical concepts and vocabulary building through the lens of friendly animals.
