An amazing bedtime counting adventure!
Book Description
When Ted falls out of bed, three tearaway mice whisk him off on a breathtaking adventure. They zoom around in fast cars, go on a balloon ride and climb a building-block mountain. It's all very exciting, but will it get Ted back to bed? This book's counting theme is perfectly woven into a magical, rhythmic text. A future classic from the award-winning author of THE GRUFFALO (978-0-333-96568-9)and THE GRUFFALO'S CHILD (978-1-4050-2046-6).

Large format paperback with 32 shiny high quality pages in the popular `two-page spread' format, with clear text.
Delightful illustrations throughout, from Anna Currey, further enhanced by meaningful facial expressions.
From the back cover:-
`One ted falls out of bed.
How will he ever get back in?
Count with Ted from one to ten as he goes on an amazing night-time adventure.'
Examples of text:-
`One ted falls out of bed.
He tugs and pulls the bedclothes BUT.......Two eyes are tight shut.
He jumps and shouts and makes a fuss,
Till three mice say, "Play with us!"........'
Oh dear - Ted is out of bed, and his owner is too fast asleep to notice.....but Ted finds himself taken on a great adventure as the pages count up to ten, and back again!
And..... all is well that ends well as Ted is back where he started, too!

Format:Paperback
My twin two-year olds absolutely love this story. As does their mother: it's a quick read; ends on a gentle, bedtime note; has decent, not contrived rhymes; and doesn't grate or get boring. The illustrations are lovely and the story is sweet. It's always a request at nap times.

Format:Board book
This is a lovely book and a favourite with my son since 18 months (he is now coming up to 2). The illustrations are endearing and the poem leads through the numbers in a simple but eloquent way. A lot of the vocabulary falls neatly into the 'first words' category (car, star, etc) so even at a very young age children can join in with the story and remember concepts. Although we have read this time and time again I am still enjoying it. Would highly recommend as a first birthday gift.

Gorgeous way to teach counting
A simply beautiful book; the text is extremely simple and is a good way of encouraging children to count, but what makes it a winner for me is the way it's illustrated. Read more
