Mimi's Book of Counting

Review also includes:

Mimi’s Book of Opposites, ‎978-1842700631

Mimi is delightful! She is a merry monkey just at the stage when learning something new is the most exciting thing about being alive. In the first book her relationship with Grandma is contagiously warm, as they go through their day sharing counting. The readers will echo each interaction between Grandma and Mimi, as numbers one to ten are exuberantly explored. Mimi can’t find one favourite book at bedtime, she produces nine, and as Grandma tucks Mimi up with her ten little teds, she returns to her opening endearment, ‘Goodnight, my one and only dumpling!’ In Opposites, Mimi continues to explore new concepts, this time with her baby brother. Yes and No, High and Low, we romp through the book, learning as we go! Both books, with their sturdy pages, have great charm, and the monkey family life echoes that of many a small child.
