What is When We Went to the Park about?
Join a little girl and her grandpa on a lively walk through the park. As they watch joggers, children, dogs, birds and other busy park visitors, they count everything they see, from one person to ten playful happenings. With bright illustrations and simple, rhythmic text, ordinary moments become an exciting counting adventure. Young readers can join in, spot familiar things and practise their numbers while enjoying a warm day out with a loving grandparent.
