Pelican's Bill

There are a couple books in this same format/series—they're all pretty cute, but this is definitely my favorite :) It's got the interactive beak to occupy little hands, it teaches counting, and the rhyming is cute. Plus, it's safe for any sensitive kids who don't want cute fish and turtles to get eaten since *spoiler alert* in the end they don't end up being lunch after all.

A fun twist on a counting book by counting how many things the pelican scoops up in its bill. The book is interactive not only in the counting sense, but it has the tabs you pull up to open the pelican's mouth. I love the tabs!
