A rich and beautiful counting book full of gorgeous baby animals, with shaped pages, flaps and fold-outs from the UK's favourite author Julia Donaldson and award-winning illustrator Sharon King-Chai.

A stunning counting book full of gorgeous baby animals, with amazing flaps to lift and holes to peep through. From Julia Donaldson, bestselling author of The Gruffalo, and Sharon King-Chai, who together created the award-winning Animalphabet.


From a leopard with her cubs, to a frog and its tadpoles, young readers will delight in counting each creature’s babies and seeing where they live. With rhyming text and a surprise search-and-find game, this is a read-aloud delight and an absolute must for the family bookshelf. A truly beautiful Christmas gift. Included in the Telegraph's the Best Children's Books of the Year.

King-Chai’s sumptuous, vibrant artwork, the cleverly designed and shaped pages, and Donaldson’s rhythmic words make Counting Creatures a rich learning experience and a delight to read aloud and share * Lancashire Post, Lytham St Annes Express, The Garstang Courier, The Gazette, Chorley Guardian, St Helens The Reporter, Lancaster Guardian, The Clitheroe Advertiser and Times *
