Learning Through Play

Counting adventures on six spinning wheels. This train-shaped board book combines counting, lift-the-flap surprises, and six wheels that turn as you push it along. Count from one to ten through carriages filled with animals—who's munching snacks? Who's napping? Jonathan Emmett's rhyming text keeps it engaging.

Flip the concertina book over for a counting game: the same train appears with animals redistributed so only one of each type appears in each carriage, inviting children to spot and count afresh.

Book details:

Train-shaped board book with 6 working wheels
Lift-the-flap concertina format

How It Works: Front side tells rhyming counting story from 1-10 with animals in numbered carriages.
