Anno's Counting Book

In this wordless counting book, Mitsumasa Anno transforms an empty landscape as the numbers increase from zero to twelve. Trees, buildings, animals, and people gradually appear, with each richly detailed scene containing the corresponding number of objects. Children can count, compare, and discover new details on every page while watching a village grow through the changing seasons.
