Let's count animals, starting with 1 gorilla!  Reading this oldie but goodie, featuring lifesize photos of chickens, cats, tortoises and more, is such a fun way for preschoolers to practice counting.  We wish it was still in print so we could buy more copies for the library!

Little Puffin has just started out on a walk to enjoy the lovely fresh air, but Small Gull, Tiny Gull, and Baby Gull will not leave him alone!  They copy the way he walks, they copy the way he talks, they even copy the way he thinks.  How annoying!

When Little Owl falls out of his nest, Squirrel is determined to reunite him with his mommy.  Little Owl says Mommy is very big, has pointy ears, and big eyes, but it takes Squirrel several tries to find the right grown-up animal.  And wouldn't you know it?  Of course Mommy has been looking everywhere for Little Owl!
