About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to channel your toddler's restless energy into a focused, rhythmic learning moment. It is perfect for those quiet afternoons when a child is beginning to notice the small creatures in the backyard or showing a budding interest in 'how many' things they can see. This story transforms basic counting into a collaborative gardening adventure where animals of all shapes and sizes work together to create something beautiful. Beyond just numbers, the book celebrates the joy of shared work and the wonders of the natural world. Julia Donaldson's signature rhyme scheme provides a predictable, soothing structure that builds confidence in early readers. It is a gentle choice for parents who want to foster a sense of curiosity about nature while reinforcing foundational math skills in a way that feels like play rather than a lesson.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a strictly secular, nature-based concept book with a focus on harmony and productivity.
Ideal Reader
A three-year-old who loves being outdoors and is just starting to point at objects to count them. It is also excellent for a child who may be feeling a bit overwhelmed by larger tasks, as it breaks a big project (gardening) into small, friendly steps.
