Counting Chickens

A unique counting story set in Africa.

Tobi has a fine hen, and all his friends have their own animals two. Each day the other animals give birth to their babies: one calf, two lambs, three kids, four kittens, five puppies and six piglets. But Tobi s hen just lays seven eggs and sits on them, waiting. After two weeks all the other babies are growing up and running about – but Tobi s hen is still sitting on her eggs, waiting… At last, after twenty-one days, the eggs hatch. Now Tobi has a fine brood of seven beautiful chicks. And by the following year he is the proud owner of more chickens than he can count. Can YOU help Tobi count his chickens?
•Includes counting up to 50, with a counting game on the final spread (and answers all at the back of the book).
