Review quote:
"This introduction to numbers one to ten isn''t a traditional counting book, but more a story about numbers that aims to increase children''s familiarity with them and recognise their shapes. It''s bright and appealing with cute number characters, and there are some useful bits of guidance for parents and carers at the beginning and end of the book that suggest some of the different ways you can look at the book with little ones, as well as activities you can do when you''re out and about, such as looking for numbers when out for a walk."
