1, 2, 3 … 8, 9, 10 – initially not so easy, but soon becomes child's play. In this picture book, children aged 2-4 learn about numbers and number words from 1 to 10. They discover that almost everything can be counted – and what perhaps cannot. Just on our bodies, many things are present one, two, or even five times. It’s also practical that you can use your hands to count. Being able to count helps in comparing, sorting, and categorizing things. Which child has more ice cream scoops, and which has less? How should the balls be distributed so that each child has the same amount? And how many plates does the birthday child need for themselves and their three guests? Flaps help compare the built tower and search for pairs. Many games promote understanding and lead, almost incidentally, to a first mathematical foundation.
