Following on the heels of the successful alphabetic phenomenon,Countablock features thick pages cut into the shape of each number,creating a sort of peek-through guessing game around the number form itself. One egg becomes...one chick! From snowmen to puddles and acorns to oaks,quantities are illustrated twice: both before and after their "transformations." As children interact with the pages,they will familiarise themselves not only with the numbers 1-100 and associated quantities,but with each numeral's physicality - angles,holes and curves,both front and back. Illustrated by hip British design team Peskimo,this fresh take on the 1-2-3s encourages readers to manipulate numbers in a whole new way.

MEDIA REVIEWS
Stylish silkscreenlike illustrations and opportunities for both counting and guessing what happens next should keep copies of this chunky book well-loved.A terrific companion to Alphablock that counts from one to 10,and up by 10s to 100,using cause and effect." "More please!The clever,nostalgic art is reminiscent of Sara Gillingham's work in Stephen Krensky's I Know a Lot,and the title provides an unusual exploration of concepts appropriate for many age levels.
