Following on the heels of the bestselling AlphaBlock, CountaBlock features the same thick pages cut into the shape of each numeral, creating a peek-through guessing game around the number form itself. One acorn becomes . . . one oak tree! From snowmen to puddles and eggs to chicks, quantities are illustrated twice: both before and after their “transformations. This fresh take on the 1-2-3s encourages readers to manipulate numbers in a whole new way.
