From helping with inventions to cleaning windows – Gromit's work is never done. Today he's so busy he's had to make a list. First he's got to fill the teapot (one), then it's time to bake some cakes (two), before buttering crackers (three) etc.... Each of these cumulative tasks will introduce a number, helping pre-schoolers learn to count from one to five.
Poor Gromit is worn out! After a busy day looking after Wallace, he's just about ready for bed. But just as he settles down to sleep... CRACKLE, CRACKLE! Gromit is woken up by Wallace watching television, full blast. Then it's BANG, BANG! as Wallace hammers away at one of his inventions. Will Gromit ever get to sleep! Eventually he retreats to his kennel and enlists the help of Shaun for a good night's sleep.
What makes Shaun special? He isn't like most other sheep. He prefers West Wallaby Street to the farm and wears a knitted pullover when the weather turns cold. He's not scared of dogs and can even do acrobatic stunts! Each page of the book features simple text and an illustration showing an example of how Shaun stands apart from the flock. A full bleed image of Shaun on the last double page spread is accompanied by the words, ""But just like every other sheep, the most special thing about Shaun is his snuggly woolly coat"" - inviting readers to close the book and stroke the woolly cover once more.
What makes Gromit special? He isn't like most other dogs. He doesn't wear a collar and he prefers his bedroom to a kennel. And what other dog loves electronics, reading the newspaper and whizzing down slides? Each double page of this book features simple text and an illustration showing an example of how Gromit stands apart from his canine peers. A full bleed image of Gromit on the final spread is accompanied by the words, ""But just like every other dog, the most special thing about Gromit is his soft furry ears"" - inviting readers to close the book and stroke the furry cover!
