My 3-year old is really into counting these days. Everything she sees has to be counted, first in Dutch, and then in English.
So this cute book, Count the Birdies from Matthew Porter is right up her alley. Every page shows a different number of birds, and on every page they are drawn in different colours and are flying around a different flowering tree.
Simple, beautiful.
I also like the fact that the counting is not too easy – the more birds on a page (up to ten), the more difficult it gets, as they are all different sizes and are not all lined up.

Another cute book by Matthew Porter is his ABC board book – with equally cute pictures of not always very common animals.
And I have been told these two books are the first in a set of four – opposites and colours are to come!  Can’t wait (my daughter STILL doesn’t know her colours)!!!
