About this book

How many legs are coming to my party? This is what's puzzling a little boy who has invited all sorts of weird and wonderful creatures to share his celebratory feast. First to arrive is a polar bear, who heads straight for the jelly. Then a duck arrives carrying a lemon cake, followed by a flying hippo dressed in a tutu! The boy can just about keep count, but when a squid rides in on a buffalo and a flea flies in on a bumble bee, things get complicated, noisy and rather chaotic - but that's what a good party is all about!

An original and humorous take on an animal counting book with entertaining illustrations providing plenty to talk about.
