Mountain Machines
Discover the machines that work on a ski hill in this illustrated counting book for young children. Two to five-year-olds will love the colorful view of the antics of the gondolas, groomers, bull wheels and pipe dragons that run a ski resort. Vibrant illustrations and whimsical words teach tots to count and name the machines cavorting in the snow. Each machine has it own personality and on every page Marty Marmot observes the fun. A lively book for little ones to learn numbers and new vocabulary, as well as for anyone who loves snow, snow sports, winter or machines.

I'd have to say that my kids have honestly made me read this book a thousand times. As a result my kids love going up the mountain and have made a game of counting all the machines they see. Each page has it's own special something going on that the kids love to hunt and find for themselves, not to mention what that cheeky Marmot gets up to. We also love her next book too, Sounds of the Ferry.—Sarah Jervis, Amazon 5 stars
