1 2 3 in a tree' is a lovely board book which I have enjoyed reading to my young son. Being a board book, I have not had to worry about pages getting ripped as he has explored turning pages and looking at illustrations in more detail. The book is a good way to introduce counting to ten with young children as well as introducing a range of animals, some of which are unlikely to be the first that pop into parents' minds (red pandas and peacocks, for example). The text is also easy to follow and flows well with the use of alliteration. A very short story which can easily be read when there is only a few minutes to spare.
