~ Catherine Rayner is the study of an author project I am doing so excuse the sudden influx of her books ~

My absolute favourite so far of this author.
I love the relationship between the group of friends and the titular character. I enjoy the importance of numbers and counting. I love the opportunity for children's interaction with the counting itself during reading and the simple sensory interaction of the extendable page at the end as a final flourish to re-engage children and add to that sense of wonder Abigail has.

I also think it of of note that the main character of a maths based book is female, which really makes me happy.
