Synopsis

IRRESISTIBLY CUTE BIRDS HELP TO TEACH THE BASICS OF NUMERACY

Meet the Mokomakis, a group of little birds who flit playfully through these pages while teaching the basics of numeracy.

A mummy fox is searching for her lost baby, and asks the Mokomakis for help as she looks - the little birds cheerfully mount a search through the forest, where they meet lots of other creatures, who helpfully join in - and kids can, too!

As they search, readers practice sequencing, sorting and classifying, comparing and grouping while looking for the missing fox.

Review

"Small birds wandering amidst the other animals offer help, inviting kids to observe, count and add . . . stylized drawings and bright colors allow one to learn while having fun."
-Culturebox, France TV
"The Mokomaki series calls for savviness and problem-solving skills . . . the books have gotten an enthusiastic response in France and Taiwan as well."
--Helsingin sanomat newspaper, Finland
