Billy's Bucket

Age 3 to 5

Billy's Bucket by Kes Gray


Publisher: Red Fox
ISBN: 9780099438748

All Billy wants for his birthday is a bucket. He goes to a bucket shop and carefully chooses one that's 19 shelves up and 78 along from the left - and there are all sorts of wonderful things inside it!
 
This book would make a lovely introduction to an activity about fitting objects inside a bucket, as well as providing the opportunity for children to count items.
