AlbakiReads Editorial

Counting up to a hippo party

A lone hippo starts with a phone call, and each new arrival adds to the count. The numbers are part of the action: the growing group of guests turns a simple counting sequence into a party. The board-book format and short, concrete premise give young children a way to connect numbers with what is happening on each page. For an adult sharing the book aloud, the accumulating hippos also offer a natural chance to pause and count together.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children beginning to explore counting
  • Adults seeking a counting book to share aloud
