This is a feely counting book, starting at 10 and going down to 1. The illustrations are busy, silly cartoons that make the counting difficult. We start with 10 ridiculous horses in a coach eating sandwiches and cake, but we do get to feel, stroke and count their manes, and that's nice. Then we get a jumble of 9 monkeys, and their sticky bananas - yuck! The feelies are irresistible: squashy balloons, fur, mirrors, glitters, net, and texture. It's a robust book that will take lots of feeling, and encourage lots of traffic and animal noise. And tactile counting.
