Teeming with animals to find, count and talk about, this picture book helps develop basic word and number skills.

"Whether you have five minutes or five hours, you can create a lively, expressive puppet with simple and inexpensive materials such as plastic bottles, old socks, newspaper and cardboard. There are finger puppets, glove puppets, rod puppets, shadow puppets and string puppets with characters that are original, inventive and fun."

The reader is invited to find and count various things in the illustrations of different kinds of farms from around the world.
