About The Book Fairy

1 Counting Book, 2 Counting Books...

shelf candy canada (Apr.14.10)

This pair of counting books has more in common than just animals - each has a fun twist of its own.

The Big Storm
by Nancy Tafuri
Audience: 2-5 years
Available: www.Chapters.Indigo.ca
Why it's sweet:
Tafuri is a go-to author for young kids, with her clear, strong drawings and simple stories. Here, animals dash into a cave to weather out a storm, only to find that the bears hiding inside are even scarier! Good thing it was nice out by the time they awoke...

Take a peek inside to enjoy this latest work by a perennial favourite.

One Too Many
by Gianna Marino
Audience: 3-6 years
Available: www.Chapters.Indigo.ca
Why it's sweet:
This book also features animals that crowd in (into a barn in, here) and then scatter out quickly - this time, when the skunk clears the room. It's a fun one for the slightly older child, with more complex illustrations, a growing chain of bounces to follow, and a "seek and find" element on each page.
