About This Book
A parent looking to make counting a joyful, visually engaging experience should reach for this book.

Each page turn reveals a new group of incredible animals, from a single kangaroo to a colony of ten penguins, sparking a sense of wonder about the natural world.

What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is a straightforward, secular, and gentle introduction to numbers and animals.
Ideal Reader
A curious 2-year-old who is just learning number names and is captivated by animals. Also perfect for a 3 or 4-year-old who is ready to practice one-to-one correspondence (pointing at each animal while counting) and prefers realistic images over cartoons.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. This book can be read cold. A parent can enhance the experience by making the animal sounds or sharing a simple fact about each creature, but the book stands perfectly on its own. A parent notices their child showing an interest in counting objects around the house or is looking for a beautiful, screen-free way to introduce numbers. The child may have recently enjoyed a trip to the zoo or loves watching nature documentaries.
