What to expect

How many legs would there be if a polar bear came for tea? How high would the leg count go if a squid rode in on a buffalo? As more and more animals join in the fun, count along if you can!

Critics Review

  • A chaotically funny counting rhyme with a difference.

    The Bookseller
  • You get so distracted by the laugh-out-loud and quirky illustrations that you forget about counting

    londonmumsmagazine.com
  • Another hilarious picture book that has just about everything you could want: great rhymes, Field’s uniquely playful illustrations and counting to boot. Charming and original

  • Picture book perfection

    Books For Keeps
  • Each spread is a riot of colour and movement, with small details to be discovered on each re-reading. Children will revel in the anarchy created by the animal guests; this is a joyful story of fun and friendship, with an absorbing built-in mathematical challenge

    The School Librarian
  • With wonderfully wacky guests splendidly attired, and scenes full of delightfully exuberant eccentricities, this…is a cracker
