Excellent and beautiful book can do so many things with this book， counting， learning the term for various baby animals。 There is a surprise search and find element that will make you want to go through the book one more time with your child。

Een echt magisch mooi boek waarin in kinderen op een toffe manier tot 10 leren tellen + nog een paar tientallen！Ik heb dit boek vorige maand （Mei） uit de bieb gehaald en eindelijk had ik dan de tijd/de zin om het te lezen en WAUW， ik wilde dat ik het eerder had gelezen want dit was een feestje。We beginnen bij een dier dat een jonkie krijgt （een schattige vleermuis） en zo gaan we steeds 1 jonkie omhoog tot we bij 10 zijn！ We zien waar de jonkies slapen/spelen。 Of ze al veel kunnen of nog dicht bi Een echt magisch mooi boek waarin in kinderen op een toffe manier tot 10 leren tellen + nog een paar tientallen！Ik heb dit boek vorige maand （Mei） uit de bieb gehaald en eindelijk had ik dan de tijd/de zin om het te lezen en WAUW， ik wilde dat ik het eerder had gelezen want dit was een feestje。We beginnen bij een dier dat een jonkie krijgt （een schattige vleermuis） en zo gaan we steeds 1 jonkie omhoog tot we bij 10 zijn！ We zien waar de jonkies slapen/spelen。 Of ze al veel kunnen of nog dicht bij mama zijn。 Het was onwijs schattig en ik vond het heerlijk hoe je steeds de flapjes （die op een leuke manier waren gemaakt met vormpjes， de moeder gebruikte， en nog meer） kon openmaken om de jonkies te zien。 Ik was blij verrast dat we daarna tientallen kregen en dus nog meer dieren。 Leuke toevoeging zo leren kinderen nog een paar meer aantallen op een leuke manier。 Ik vond de keuze van dieren ook top。 Niet alleen wat standaard diertjes （schapen/muizen） maar ook poolhazen， hyenas， hangbuikzwijnen。En dan komt er nog een extra element， want aan het einde mag je een moeder gaan helpen。 Ik had totaal niet door dat je die moest zoeken， ik dacht dat ze bij de platen hoorden。 Ik had veel plezier in het kijken of ik ze kon vinden， ik heb niet geteld， gewoon gezocht。Ik vond het wel vreemd dat ze soms de specifieke naam gaven aan de dierenbabies， maar soms ook gewoon voor de basis ging。 Zo noemde ze baby-eendjes gewoon eendjes terwijl ze vaak pulletjes worden genoemd。 Vleermuisen hebben geen jonkies maar puppies。 Dat had net wat beter gekund， zo leren kinderen ook meteen het juiste woord。De illustraties waren echt prachtig。 Ik genoot echt enorm van de stijl en de kleuren die gebruikt waren。 Ik wil wel een print of tig van dit boek om aan mijn muur te hangen。Al met al， een leuk en leerzaam boek met flapjesverrassingen en schattige dieren。 Aanrader！Recensie ook gepost op https://boekeneiland。nl/ 。。。more

Wie heeft er één jonkie meer？ Tekst: Julia Donaldson。 Illustraties: Sharon King-Chai。 Vertaling: Edward van de Vendel。Oh wat een prachtige boeken worden er toch gemaakt。 Vooral de boeken voor kinderen zijn soms kleine kunstwerkjes。 Zoals dit boek。 De cover is kleurrijk， met blinkende zilveraccenten en doorkijkjes naar het schutblad。 Dat alles geeft al een goede indicatie van wat je nog meer mag verwachten: veel kleur， vrolijkheid， doorkijkjes， optilflapjes en dieren， heel veel dieren。 Het idee v Wie heeft er één jonkie meer？ Tekst: Julia Donaldson。 Illustraties: Sharon King-Chai。 Vertaling: Edward van de Vendel。Oh wat een prachtige boeken worden er toch gemaakt。 Vooral de boeken voor kinderen zijn soms kleine kunstwerkjes。 Zoals dit boek。 De cover is kleurrijk， met blinkende zilveraccenten en doorkijkjes naar het schutblad。 Dat alles geeft al een goede indicatie van wat je nog meer mag verwachten: veel kleur， vrolijkheid， doorkijkjes， optilflapjes en dieren， heel veel dieren。 Het idee voor dit boek is geweldig: leren tellen door middel van dieren en hun jonkies， veel leuker wordt het niet。 De tekeningen zijn zeer kleurrijke， paginavullende schilderijtjes。 De tekst is vlot en leest leuk， zeker door de geweldige vertaling door van de Vendel。 Een boek om op slag verliefd op te worden！ Op het einde leer je wie de meeste jonkies heeft en krijg je een opdracht waardoor je weer van voor af aan wilt beginnen… Magisch mooi。 。。。more

This is actually my second time to check out this book because I enjoyed it so much last spring。 Delicate pages can be turned， flipped， and opened in various ways to reveal hidden animals or insects and their offspring。 The artwork is quite stunning and yet it’s also a fun hunting， counting， and puzzling read that can be enjoyed time and time， again。 I cannot possibly capture the beauty of the artwork （especially as it varies so much from page to page）， but it is so lovely！For more children's li This is actually my second time to check out this book because I enjoyed it so much last spring。 Delicate pages can be turned， flipped， and opened in various ways to reveal hidden animals or insects and their offspring。 The artwork is quite stunning and yet it’s also a fun hunting， counting， and puzzling read that can be enjoyed time and time， again。 I cannot possibly capture the beauty of the artwork （especially as it varies so much from page to page）， but it is so lovely！For more children's literature， middle grade literature， and YA literature reviews， feel free to visit my personal blog at The Miller Memo！ 。。。more

The book is beautiful， the illustrations are amazing！ My 2。5 years old son loves it。Does anyone know how many baby spiders are in the book？ Cover says 30， but we found 32 😅

Absolutely beautiful！ I love that it counts above 10 and that the hidden spiders are a puzzle and Easter Egg at the same time。

One of the more beautiful picture books - well-placed flaps and cutouts to add another layer of interest to already spectacular illustrations。

BEAUTIFUL ills， lovely lift-the-flap counting book with the names of all different types of baby animals。 The spiderlings are drawn throughout the book and kids can go back and count them。 Could be used in ST， but attention span with unfamiliar baby animal words plus numbers past ten makes this an older-kid storytime。 It might be too challenging for kids whose parents don’t speak English fluently。 Great for at-home， poring over the pages。

Definitely a beautiful book with great illustrations。 I'm partially basing my rating on the fact that the mouse page had three flaps which felt confusing and like too many。 I worry it's so fragile that it wouldn't hold up well in a public library collection。 That said， I think it's a great choice for one on one reading。 Definitely a beautiful book with great illustrations。 I'm partially basing my rating on the fact that the mouse page had three flaps which felt confusing and like too many。 I worry it's so fragile that it wouldn't hold up well in a public library collection。 That said， I think it's a great choice for one on one reading。 。。。more

This is perhaps one of the most beautiful picture books I've ever seen。 I put it on my want to own list， and just might buy a copy for me because it makes me happy。 The concept is not new， a parent animal has baby animals hidden under flaps。 2 lambs， 5 owl babies， 10 piglets etc。 Except the flaps are definitely not for little hands， they are paper and die cut and I have to return it to the library before it gets too well loved in my household。 Gorgeous。 Beautiful。 Full of color and delight yes。 This is perhaps one of the most beautiful picture books I've ever seen。 I put it on my want to own list， and just might buy a copy for me because it makes me happy。 The concept is not new， a parent animal has baby animals hidden under flaps。 2 lambs， 5 owl babies， 10 piglets etc。 Except the flaps are definitely not for little hands， they are paper and die cut and I have to return it to the library before it gets too well loved in my household。 Gorgeous。 Beautiful。 Full of color and delight yes。 For wee hands。。。nope。。。。 。。。more

This book is beautiful。 It would make a great gift for a young preschooler。 The foldout pagers are a little fragil for younger than three years old。
