But each little board book can stand on its own, without previous introduction. Parents and children will find plenty of opportunities to practise counting skills. Number six, Molly Draws, is about colours, a new coloured object being illustrated on each page. The little books are sturdy and well bound. Although not as fat as many books of this type, their slimness makes for easier, lighter handling for small children.
Colours are bright, subject matter appealing, and drawings whimsical.
