At the beginning, explain what these children in the book will do and we will count them. At the end, besides counting, we also can ask about which ones round or rectangle? What is under the table, etc.
And a good illustrated book.

A beautifully crafted counting book that explores simple addition and subtraction up to ten through the use of two houses one on the recto and the other on the verso. In turning each page the reader reveals a cut-out view of one house with children in and then on the other a house front with tantalising glimpses through the windows. The following turn reveal an increasing amount of children who slowly move into this new home delivering a delicate and intriguing game of subtraction and addition. Highly commendable design.
