About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their toddler is beginning to show an interest in counting and they want a gentle, joyful introduction. This charming book gathers familiar Mother Goose rhymes that feature numbers, like "One, Two, Buckle My Shoe" and "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep." The classic verses are paired with sweet, modern illustrations, making them feel fresh and new. The overall feeling is one of pure delight and cozy connection, perfect for a lap-read. It’s an excellent choice for babies and toddlers (ages 0-4) because the strong rhythm and rhyme build early literacy skills, while the simple counting concepts lay the groundwork for future math learning in a playful, stress-free way.
What Parents Should Know

The book is secular and avoids any sensitive topics, focusing purely on the joy of rhythm and counting.
