The thick pages of this beautiful book are perfect for little hands and even a child who can't say triangle can begin identifying and pointing to shapes. Count the eggs on the page and, as they crack, count the crocodiles that climb out of the broken shells!

A math book that starts with a sister and brother having lunch and ends in a food fight of trying to divide their meal in equal halves. Sounds about right, doesn't it?

This gross-out counting book is not for the faint of heart. With rhymes like "My little sister ate one hare/we thought she'd throw up then and there/but she didn't," you might wanna grab the barf bucket before the explosive ending!
