A fun and quirky way to introduce children to numbers 1-10 and the amazing animal kingdom
A Buster Books' picture book
Rhyming text accompanies each animals arrival and their attempts to help him down the tree. The frogs have a clever idea to form an animal pyramid shape for the anteater to walk down, but as soon as the anteater spies a tasty troop of 10 ants on the ground, he fearlessly bounds down the other side of the tree, ignoring the efforts of his animal friends on the other side! Once safely down on the ground, he wanders off, and the animal pyramid collapses in a hilarious heap on the floor
At the end of the book, children are reminded of the numbers they have learnt and the animals they have met, in a simple but gorgeously illustrated guide. 1 silly anteater is stuck up a tree. 2 curious crocodiles come to see. 3 friendly moose try forming a plan. 4 sleepy sloths do all that they can. 5 slithery snakes try forming a rope. 6 proud flamingos have given up hope. 7 lazy bats are just hanging around. 8 loud macaws squawk ‘Climb down to the ground!’ 9 clever frogs have a great idea. 10 tiny ants suddenly appear! The ants are marching quietly by, when all of a sudden they catch someone's eye ... CRASH! They all fall down.
Max Jackson studied Graphic Design at the University of Sussex, and for ten years has worked as a designer, producing a variety of highly successful children’s books. He loves to draw and the weird and wonderful world of his illustrations extends to his jungle-like desk, inhabited by a menagerie of quirky doodle characters and fledgling plants. Max lives in a cottage, will only ever be seen in suede shoes and silk scarves, and in summer his studio is filled with the scent of sweetpeas from his garden.
