A lift-the-flap counting book for the very young. See 5 little apples become 4, the 3, as the animals eat them up one by one, until there’s none left. But watch for a wonderful surprise at the end! This is a perfect book for the youngest counters.   Lift the flap to reveal who eats the apple on each page of this board book—little ones learn to count backwards and begin to subtract!  This sturdy little book is the perfect size for toddler hands and features basic math concepts, friendly, smiling animals, and bold, bright kid-friendly design.  "Charming illustrations, sturdy flaps. My two yo loves this book! Sturdy pages and flaps stand-up to toddler’s abuse. Charming illustrations engage toddler’s imagination while reinforcing number and animal identification.
