This cute little first book is full of things to look at, talk about, and count. You can add up the number of horses, pigs, sheep, hens, apples, tractors, bales of hay...and much more. The book also teaches children about the shades of the rainbow and the names of farmyard animals, including four white ducks, two brown mice, and seven black and white cows - as well as what noises they make! With simple text, a wipe-clean cover and chunky board pages, this is the perfect gift for toddlers. Follow Farmer Joe as he drives his blue tractor. Can you also see one cat and two little brown mice in Jan Lewis' lively illustrations? The mice are watching Bill mend a trailer. The simple text encourages readers to spot two brown birds as well. Other bright images include Anna wearing a pink top as she feeds the ducks. There are four ducks and also four ducklings to count. How many does that make? There are lots more things to see and people to meet, so youngsters will hardly notice that they are learning while having fun on the farm.
