A playful and original counting book that celebrates special things to love about Australia
Count the busy wrens on their fine stick legs,
the bowerbird's treasures, his bottle tops and pegs.
Count the stems of wattle and the potaroos and pies,
and the lively farm dogs and the one hundred flies.
Count the fat strawberries on that lucious pavlova.
Quickly count the lamingtons before there's none left over.
Children and adults will enjoy this friendly all-Australian counting book with playful rhyming text counting from "one little nipper" to "twelve kelpie legs" to "trillions of stars" and fireworks over Sydney Harbour Bridge. A warm-hearted book for little children learning to count, it also includes pies, potaroos, and ten blue wrens.
