My three little ones love Five Shiny Bugs because they like the feel of the bugs and touching as they count.
We recently borrowed Splosh! By David Melling. My 21 month old daughter loved the illustrations of the ducks and kept shouting splash! at the end.
one mole digging a hole is a nice and funny book to read
There's a brand new eBook called FRAZZLE'S FAVOURITE NUMBER. It's part of a series that follow the adventures of a great gang of dogs in the park and it's all about counting. Check it out at ParkPups.com there's a counting song too :)
I was surprised Very Hungry Caterpillar wasn't there either. My daughter learnt so much from that book.
I thought Click Clack 123 was a very special counting book too - with a lovely funny ending. She knew all her numbers up to 10 by the age of 2.
I also love the book when mole makes a roll :-)
Ten Little Ladybirds by Melanie Gerth and Laura Huliska-Beith is a favourite with my three children.
"Hippos go berserk!" Sandra Boynton has to be our favourite. Pre one this little book never failed to raise a smile and even helped my late husband to learn to read again after recovering from brain surgery. This book will always have a special place in our hearts.
Hippos Go Berserk by Sandra Boynton is a great counting book!
Our favourite was always One Bear All Alone by Caroline Bucknall.
Surely the Very Hungry Caterpillar should be in this list?
