Why this book

Babies don’t need flashcards or quizzes.

They learn language and gain knowledge through loving interactions with the adults in their life.

Counting Fish was created to make those moments easy.

• Real-world photographs (not illustrations)
• Lots of concepts to talk about on every page
• A Grown-Up Guide to support the conversation

No pressure. Just learning together.
