A bumper crop of concept books introduces young learners to the basics. The oversized, paper-over-board Down in the Daisies: A Baby Animal Counting Book by Lucy Coats, illus. by Emily Bolam, follows an Over-in-the-Meadow rhythm as it takes readers on a round-the-world journey to count baby animals in different environments, from one round-eyed seal pup ""underneath the clifftops"" to 10 squirmy tadpoles ""underneath the willows/ In a soggy cloggy bog.""
