Description:

This gentle counting book takes children from one to twenty with soft, old-fashioned pictures and short rhymes. Each page shows a number with a simple scene, like one duckling, two goats, or a group of children playing. Tasha Tudor’s delicate paintings are full of flowers, animals and cosy country life, and children enjoy looking for small details. The rhymes are easy to read aloud, which makes this a lovely first book for learning numbers. It works well as a calm bedtime read for very young children. A 1956 Caldecott Honor book.
