These large paperbacks are pure picture books, apart from a final page of animal facts in the former and the alphabetical list in the latter. Both are superbly executed collections of paintings set against large calligraphic symbols. Watch out, though - in the case of the counting book, you must only count the baby animals, for example, the five baby lizards crawling over the adult reptile. Neither is a first counting or alphabet book and I feel they're probably appreciated by adults rather than young children.
