TIP TAP Went the Crab is a captivating and visually stunning introduction to numbers and counting, crafted by the talented Tim Hopgood, the mind behind the bestselling WOW! Said the Owl. Picture a curious little crab, emerging from her cozy rock pool to embark on an adventure into the vast blue sea. As she explores this wondrous world, she encounters a diverse array of fascinating creatures. From the noisy seagull to the serene sharks, the little crab's countenance lights up with sheer delight. However, after tallying everything from one to nine, she realizes that her very own rock pool holds a special place in her heart. With a skip in her step, she tip-taps her way back home, accompanied by her ten adorable baby crabs. This delightful board book invites preschoolers to participate in the TIP TAPs, fostering a sense of engagement and enjoyment. Moreover, a final activity spread centered around counting makes it an ideal choice for sharing during story time. Tim Hopgood, the acclaimed illustrator of WOW! Said the Owl, a first book of colors, and HOORAY for Hoppy, a first book of senses, has once again created a masterpiece that will captivate young minds and ignite their curiosity.
