Ever the good father (and the good teacher), he lets his children, Pom, Flora, and Alexander, master 1 to 10 on their own. During a walk with Zephir the monkey, they spy one maribou bird, two hot-air balloons in the sky, three race cars... Then Babar personally teaches his children--and his young readers--to count to 20. At the end of the book, there is a special reward--a Royal Certificate that affirms the new skill: "I, Babar, King of the Elephants, do hereby proclaim that you have learned to count to 20." Babar's Counting Book, first published in 1986, continues to delight youngsters--and to show them that numbers are all around them.
