This is also a counting book. In fact, it’s the number one counting book. But not as you know it, because in this book we only count to one. So don’t even think about counting to two!
In ‘The Number One Counting Book’, Casper Salmon parodies counting books by having readers count increasingly larger and more difficult things. First, one apple. Then, one elephant. Then all the ducks with roller skates (hint: there’s one).
‘The Number One Counting Book’ is a funny picture book and a twist on the well-known counting books that help toddlers and preschoolers learn to count to ten or even a hundred. Matt Hunt’s cheerful illustrations perfectly complement the narrator's humorous tone. And ultimately, toddlers and preschoolers might even learn something about larger numbers (don't tell anyone).
Tips from Kinderboekenland about this fun counting book.
When we bought this counting book, we thought it was a real counting book for learning to count from one to ten. But this counting book really doesn't go beyond one. It's a super funny picture book, with a funny and unexpected ending at the end of the book!
