Description:
All aboard! A train is rumbling along the tracks, and it is carrying some very special passengers — one elephant, two hippos, three giraffes, and more, with each carriage holding one more animal than the last, all the way up to ten cheerful birds. As the train journeys towards the zoo, little ones are gently introduced to numbers, counting, number sets, and the early ideas of addition — entirely through Eric Carle's signature bold, vibrant collage illustrations, with no words needed at all. A dramatic gatefold spread at the back of the book reveals the whole magnificent animal train in one glorious panorama, giving children endless opportunities to count and look again. First published in 1968 as Eric Carle's very first picture book, 1, 2, 3 To The Zoo remains a timeless and joyful introduction to numbers for the very youngest readers — the perfect companion for curious little minds just beginning to explore the world of maths.
