Humphrey the Number Horse

Rodney Peppé
(Methuen Publishing Ltd)
978-0416519907, RRP £1.50, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
Buy "Humphrey the Number Horse: Counting and Tables Book (A Magnet book)" on Amazon

This is certainly a maths and tables book with a difference. But whether its chief purpose is entertainment, maths or, as I suspect it may well be, an inspiration for children's creative activity I am uncertain. I found Peppe's fingerprint animals irresistible and found it hard to keep my fingers out of the ink pad. Certainly one to include in any primary school classroom.
