My first 123 - Hardcover

This is a first counting book for babies and toddlers, with big bright illustrations on every page. It covers the numbers 1 to 20, with simple words, pictures and concepts. You can see familiar objects such as five balloons, six pencils, eight socks, nine delicious cakes, and ten toys. You can count up all the happy animals, from one mouse, though seventeen butterflies, to twenty fishes. It is designed for children and adults to enjoy together, with a wipe-clean padded cover and sturdy board pages. Specially created to be fun to learn, this soft-to-touch first book encourages babies and toddlers to recognize numbers and learn to count. The first ten pages cover the numbers 1 to 10, showing the full sequence of figures on each page with the number in question shown big and bold, to aid learning. The rest of the book deals with higher numbers, all the way up to 20. The bright drawings of friendly people and cute animals make this a brilliant learning tool that small children will want to look at over and over again.
