This innovative counting book features die-cut circular windows that create a magical effect as Toby the Turtle's balloons disappear one by one, popped by pesky birds. Full color. This description may be from another edition of this product.
My 3 1/2 year old loves this book. He loves the birds swooping down to "Pop" each balloon. He really gets into reading this book. I read this book to him, but he gets to do the "Pop" part when each balloon breaks. He giggles so much and tries to say, "Those pesky birds." after each balloon is popped because it is a repeated phrase throughout the book. Wish this book was still available new. Guess we will try to check it out of the library again!
Great counting book, plus.....

hey I expected this to be just another counting book, but my 3 and 4 year olds loved this book so much. We borrowed it from the library. As you turn each page 10 different colored balloons are popped one by one by very pesky birds. As each page is turned Toby the turtle tries a different form of transportation to speed away from the "Pesky birds". Toby is determined to get some balloons over to Tina for her birthday. Each ballon a different color, each set of pages with a new number of balloons to count. Also, each page has different critters across the bottom of the page to talk about. Toby starts out walking, but ends up in a rocket ship to get one red balloon to his friend Tina for her birthday. Very nice book. Nice thick pages. Very colorful.
