This is a counting book, but with a lovely bedtime story interweaved. So learning and bedtime: bonus!
One ted falls out of bed and wants to get back in again; we go all the way from one to ten and back again but you hardly notice your learning as it's fun to see what happens next.
I didn't realise this was by Julia Donaldson when I picked it up; the woman really should be made a dame!
A rhyming text with a great story and bedtime pictures, the crazy toddler enjoyed this very much and I liked it too as I felt I was imparting some sort of knowledge onto her. Hopefully when she wakes up in the morning she will start counting!
