[Orinoco Womble (tidy bag and all) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sweet little counting book with fun pictures and pop-ups. I read it in Spanish and it was still enjoyable, though I did wonder how faithful the translation was. It's not easy to translate rhymed text as I know from experience.

Great fun as a read-aloud with small children.

Another baby shower book. Very cute pictures and who doesn't love popup books? Basically, monkey is looking for friends so he asks various other animals to keep an eye out for some other monkeys. The first animal says "I saw two there" the second says "I saw three there" etc until there's a whole bunch of the furry critters hanging out in a tree.
