The Number Garden

 

Following the success of Child magazine award winner The Alphabet Room, Sara Pinto uses the same format but turns to numbers to present a most delightful story-within-the concept book. A resourceful pair of rabbits plant carrot seeds and celebrate in a garden that grows as the numbers add up. Twelve elements—one sun, two rabbits, three garden chairs, through twelve stars at night—all add up to 78 items and one engaging (and deceptively educational) day. Carrots are planted, weeds grow, hilarious garden gnomes find their sunglasses, Chinese lanterns are lit, and a good time is had by every bunny. A perfect toddler-friendly gift.
