A zany rhyming counting story with laugh-out-loud illustrations from an award-winning team.
From the award winning creators of OI FROG! comes an hilarious counting picture book about our four-legged - and two-legged and eight-legged - friends!
How many legs would there be if a polar bear came for tea? How high would the leg count go if a squid rode in on a buffalo? As more and more animals join in the fun, count along if you can!
Praise for OI FROG! also by Kes Gray and Jim Field: 'An absolute treat.' - Daily Mail
Kes Gray is a bestselling, multi award-winning author of more than 70 books for children. He eats Ideaflakes for breakfast, spreads silliness on his toast and lives in a place called Different.

It also won the Teach Primary New Children's Fiction Award, MadeForMums Award, Bishop's Stortford Picture Book Award and Portsmouth Picture Book Award.
