Product Description

Arriving first on the island of Hong Kong, Shan-yi goes by train to Panyu in mainland China to see where her grandmother was born, visits her family's 700-year-old ancestral hall and embarks on a busy schedule of sightseeing, meeting relations, eating and shopping. From red bean pie to lunar calendars, from firecrackers to dragons, she learns about the Chinese way of life and returns home delighted with the land of her grandparents.

Baby Goz sets out to find his family. Lift the flaps and count how
many other animals he meets! A lovely first counting book.

Goz is looking for his fellow goslings. Simple but charming flap
book with original artwork. Very good as a toddler's first counting book.

Wonderful counting story from the farmyard5
Goz the baby goose tours the farmyard looking for the nest, and in the process meets other families with different numbers of offspring. A perfect introduction to elementary counting - up to 5 - for the pre-toddler, with cheery pictures, and big flaps to lift.

Actually, the pictures are the best thing. They aren't over-complicated, but have a unique style, and are just busy enough to remain interesting to an inquisitve toddler.

My daughters have both adored this book - to the second, not yet one year, it's an absolute favourite.

This is truly a wonderful book for the baby. Most highly recommended.
