Cute counting book for children who love animals... I know, because my kids L-O-V-E animals!!!

[Angee Sluder · Rating 4 out of 5]

The story had a decent cadence and was fun. My daughter stayed interested in it the entire time I was reading and I'm pretty sure she'll be equally excited to hear it tomorrow.
