A colourful and absorbing way of learning to count with Carlo the giraffe! Carlo likes counting everywhere and everything. He counts ice-creams in the cafe, fish in the stream and teddies in the toy-shop! Everything in his colourful world has a clear label attached saying what it is and how many of them there are. Children learning to count will enjoy pointing, counting and reading the numbers through the day with Carlo, a sympathetic and likeable character. And if the counting gets frustrating, Carlo doesn't worry about it - he likes splashing in his bath, too!
