Anno's Counting Book Paperback – Picture Book, 1 Sept. 1986

This the most wonderful book to share with a child. The more you read it, the more there is to find. This book satisfies the reader as well as the listener. It promotes interaction between reader and listener. The idea of number and counting grows naturally and is exciting for all. What will come on the next page? The quality of the pictures is very attractive and accessible. As well as any number learning that might happen, this book also creates the basis of reading in that the pictures offer opportunities to look and find objects. These can be easy or more challenging for the child.I first encountered this book, more than thirty years ago, when it was given to my son as a first birthday present. He and I enjoyed it so much and there was then the delight of enjoying it again with my other two children. Now I have given it to a a little girl next door for her first birthday.Along with the Very Hungry Caterpillar, this is my favorite young children's book. I was so pleased to see that it was available again.

This was recommended to use in our reception class. For preschool children this is a great book to get them to look for quantities of objects.

Lovely book but I was shocked to find the book was bent to fit into the package.

An extraoridinary and intelligent counting book. Includes beautiful watercolor paintings of a small village changing during 12 months of the year. The village develops each month and we find more and more details to count: people, animals, trees and flowers, buildings, vehicles etc. Your child can learn not only the numbers but also the months and the seasons of the year.I have bought it for my 2 years old girl who is a big fan of picture books. And I wasn't wrong with this one - she loved the idea of counting the details and observing the seasons' changes. Me and my husband, we are also impressed by this simple, intelligent book. Highly recommened - not only for counting purpose!

Have been buying this book for many years for anyone who has a baby. My own children had it 40 years ago & loved it.

It is difficult to praise Anno's book highly enough. It combines beautiful illustration with the ability to clarify numbers by making them accessible and unthreatening to young children. To be recommended for its intriguing otherness.

Love love love! Got for my 2.10 y o son and for my friends daughter! We all adore this book! Thank you!

Love the quality of the book and quick delivery. Perfect and just in time for me to show to my class at school!
