Description

A delightful counting book for beginners, One Lonely Kakapo features native New Zealand birds, reptiles and sea life to teach young New Zealanders how to count from one to ten.

This new edition published by New Holland has a bright new cover sure to appeal to a whole new generation of young Kiwis - still! The new edition also has an additional quiz page for even more counting fun.
