Go from 1 to 20 and look for chicks aplenty in this cheerful read-along.
Rabbit needs to one, two, buckle her shoe and three, four, run out the door so she can help her neighbor Mommy Hen prepare a yummy surprise for the little pigs' birthday party. Meanwhile, Mommy Hen's four little chickes are causing mischief. Can you count to 20 with Rabbit and keep track of those sneaky chicks at the same time?
Between the four little chicks hiding on every page and the creative story-telling approach to a popular counting rhyme, there is a lot to love about this delightful picture book. Combined with Jane Cabrera's signature eye-catching art style, learning to count has never been so much fun.
