Description

Count to 20 and back with an amazing animal team! They're all ready to run, ride, jump, swim and play all day. On your marks... get set... GO! There is a cup to win, and all the animals are invited. Virginie Morgand's stylishly illustrated introduction to numbers and counting breathes a real blast of fresh air into the genre. This follow-up to ABC: Off to Sea follows Morgand's boldly rendered animals as they compete in their very own Olympic games. There are weightlifting bears, fast felines, hippos in leotards and more.

She has worked on illustration projects with the London Transport Museum, Barneys in New York, Elle and The Sunday Times. She is also the author of 3,2,1 Go! and What Do Grown-ups Do All Day?
