A really nice book about counting! I like how you could relate it to lots of different areas of the curriculum as well. You could take the dance element for PE and its obviously great for maths! Great for linking to Giraffes Can't Dance as well.

The giraffe on the cover got me, so I purchased this one for my daughter. It was good and she enjoyed it, but I must admit I was a little let down myself that it wasn't solely giraffes throughout. Ha!

It's a very fun rhyming book. My daughter loves the tone, easily flows, and pictures are vibrant!

I liked the board book version of this book much more than the hardcover.

I was so excited when Mommy read this to me today. I kicked my legs as I watched her count the animals. I liked the rhythm of the words, too.
