Bookroo's summary

In a vibrant springtime setting, wild geese arrive to nest, and the counting begins. How many goslings will hatch, and what will the family look like when Papa and Mama join? This bilingual board book, with its simple concepts and bold illustrations, invites young readers to explore nature's wonders while learning to count in both English and Mandarin Chinese. Discover the beauty of a growing family and the joy of counting in two languages, with a helpful guide to tonal marks and pinyin translations included.

From the publisher

In English and Mandarin Chinese, Belle Yang’s bilingual board books celebrate the natural world with simple concepts and beautiful, bold illustrations. In springtime, when wild geese come to nest, there are eggs for counting. But how many goslings will there be? And how many in the whole paddling family, when Papa and Mama join them? Tonal marks used in the book are explained in a final spread, along with a pinyin translation of the Chinese characters.
