1 silly anteater has got himself stuck up a tree. 2 curious crocodiles have come to see. 3 friendly moose are forming a plan. Even the ants are lending a hand …

On every page of this cute counting book, children are encouraged to spot and count all the animals that turn up to help the anteater down from the tree.

There are new arrivals on every page and plenty for children to spot as scenes get busier and more and more animals turn up to join in the fun.

Max Jackson studied Graphic Design at the University of Sussex, and for ten years has worked as a designer, producing a variety of highly successful children’s books.

He loves to draw and the weird and wonderful world of his illustrations extends to his jungle-like desk, inhabited by a menagerie of quirky doodle characters and fledgling plants.

Max lives in a cottage, will only ever be seen in suede shoes and silk scarves, and in summer his studio is filled with the scent of sweetpeas from his garden.
