Little Anna Plays with Numbers

By Inger and Lasse Sandberg

Anna is a little girl who likes to do things by herself. She wants to build things and she wants to decide on things because she knows how to, of course! This playful and educational picture book offers a great way to learn to count together with the titular character, Little Anna. The reader learns how to count to ten with Anna by discovering the world around her and the familiar objects of everyday life.  Little Anna lives in one house, she waters seven flowers and there are ten stars glowing in the sky.
