Coco's Coconut Count
An adventure in counting 1 to 20
by Carole Lorraine

Count, climb, and cook up some fun with Coco the monkey! When curious little Coco discovers a towering coconut tree, he begins a joyful count from one to twenty. But his plan to bake tasty coconut treats takes a twist when a sneaky macaw swoops in and steals his eggs! From jungle chases to vanishing coconuts, Coco learns that teamwork, friendship, and a sprinkle of perseverance can turn any day around. With rhyming verse, colourful adventure, and a dash of jungle mischief, Coco’s Coconut Count is a delightful introduction to numbers and a celebration of kindness, sharing, and the sweet rewards of working together.
