1,2,3 Salish Sea: A Counting Book for Toddlers

Learn to count ocean life with stunning high-contrast papercut art!

Now available as a board book, this counting book will have toddlers poring over every page to discover the creatures hiding in every nook and cranny, like stubby squids, banana slugs, and orcas—and of course lots of raindrops. Kids love splashing around in the waves, but can they see this twist ending coming?

While most counting books end at ten, this playful book will surprise by pushing past the expected and ending on really big numbers like one thousand! And beyond learning to count, the high-contrast art is perfect for toddlers' visual and cognitive development as they grow. A celebration of the unique Pacific Northwest ecosystem, each image is lovingly handcreated created by artist Nikki McClure in her intricate papercut style, sure to inspire your family to splash around in the tidepooles!
