Count the Monkeys by Mac Barnett is an interactive counting book filled with humour and surprises as the monkeys remain elusive throughout the story. Instead of traditional numerals, children encounter a variety of funny and exaggerated characters, such as crocodiles in top hats and grizzly bears. The vibrant illustrations and engaging text encourage participation, making it a lively read for young children aged 3 to 6. Despite the monkeys' absence, the book cleverly keeps children counting and entertained until the final page reveal.
