Enticing shapes to stroke make this a wonderfully sensuous way of counting from one to five. Dot and Dash are off on a picnic but they are not sure what to take. All their friends bring something – cuddly toys, bouncy balls, bright balloons. Counting them and stroking them too reinforces the numbers and how they mount up!
Dot and Dash are going to a picnic with all their friends. Everyone is bringing their favourite thing. From cuddly toys to bouncy balls, to sparkly balloons and yummy cakes, there are fantastic touch-and-feel elements on every spread.

I Love My Mummy, written by Giles Andreae and illustrated by Emma, won the Booktrust award in 2010. Among Emma’s favourite things in life are surfing with her kids, punctuality and Scrabble. Things she cannot abide include heights, pate and children who complain that they are bored. ‘How can you ever be bored,’ she says, ‘when you can always draw a picture?’ Emma lives in Surrey.
