The rhythmic text combined with Garth Williams' heart - warming animal illustrations has made counting from one to ten a delight for nearly 60 years. It's a must - have for every toddler and preschooler's library. Little Golden Books have been adored by children for over 75 years. In 1942 when they were first released, affordable high - quality children's books were scarce. Little Golden Books changed the game! Priced at just 25 cents and sold at daily shopping places, they became an instant hit and were bought by the hundreds of thousands. Written by talented authors like Margaret Wise Brown (author of Goodnight Moon) and Richard Scarry, these books have helped millions of kids develop a lifelong love for reading. Today, Little Golden Books include beloved classics such as The Poky Little Puppy and Scuffy the Tugboat, popular licenses, and new original stories waiting to be explored within their sturdy cardboard covers and gold - foil spines.

How to use: Sit your little one on your lap and read the rhythmic text aloud. Point at the cute animal illustrations as you count to make it more engaging. Encourage your child to repeat the numbers after you. Note: Keep the book away from food and drinks to avoid stains. If your child has a habit of chewing on things, supervise them while they are with the book. Maintenance: Wipe the cover gently with a dry cloth if it gets dirty. Store the book in a dry place to prevent it from warping or getting damaged.
