Seek and Count

Toddler-PreS-Yonezu's counting book is an enticing blend of elegance and whimsy. The number one is paired with an image of an egg, but lifting the flap reveals a tiny yellow chick. More fun surprises await, some predictable (a red mitten contains five fingers), some unexpected (a picture of a blanket conceals three kittens). Set against crisp white pages, the images are bright and solid, and the flaps should stand up even to exuberant little hands.
