This book introduces children aged 3-6 to the numbers 1-6. It also helps them to learn number names in order, count in steps of 1 or 2, count 2 items and recognise pairs, count to 3 and use the language of comparison, 'move and count' to 5 and understand words such as 'too many' and 'too few'. With the help of colourful fairytales, nursery rhymes, games and activities, he or she will quickly get to know how the numbers look and sound - essential first steps in getting to grips with the maths required on entry to primary school.
