Bim Bam Boom!

Dad and Lucy and Alfie and Amy are at the zoo one afternoon when clouds as big as dinosaurs stomp across the sky and ROAR!

While they wait for the rain to pass, the family counts the seconds between the lightning and the thunder - one hippopotamus, two hippopotamus, three hippopotamuses - BIM BAM BOOM!

The author and illustrator are both highly-regarded and have won many awards. Bim Bam Boom! features fabulous animal illustrations and a fun way for children to learn to count. The text is designed to be read aloud.
