This is a very sweet book. My daughter can relate to it, because, like the protagonist, she likes tucking her favourite toys into their toy cot at bedtime.

Lovely counting book with kisses 😘

The illustrations are very, very pretty and cute. I totally love it. It is more suitable for 2 to 3 years old. The concept of counting until the number 10 is used. A very sweet book.

Cute counting book, if a little cheesy...

[Rebecca Chew · Rating 5 out of 5]

The kisses are represented by hearts in the pages. I could use them to help baby learn counting. Love how the texts rhyme too.
