Description
Two small children invite you to one great big party in a miniature yellow house on a tiny green hill. Tumbling turtles and dancing penguins, monsters munching cake and mischievous monkeys make counting a frisky affair of full-sized fun! Little ones can count on this little book, packed with exuberant gouache paintings that nearly jump from the pages. Yippie!
- Counting Up and Down: Join the party as ten silly monsters, nine tiny mice, and a host of friends arrive, then count back down as they all go home.
- Friendly Animal Party: From tumbling turtles and dancing penguins to mischievous monkeys in party hats, every page is filled with charming new characters.
- Perfect for Reading Aloud: With simple, rhythmic text and a joyful “Yippie!”, this story is designed to be a fun, interactive experience for toddlers and parents.
- Vibrant Gouache Artwork: Bright, exuberant paintings fill every page, making the numbers and characters feel like they could jump right out of the book.
