Joshua's Counting Book

Alona Frankel's cumulative counting structure — gathering family members one by one until Joshua realizes he could have used his own fingers all along — is pedagogically clean and lands a satisfying payoff for toddlers. The Once Upon a Potty brand association is a genuine warmth signal for parents who already know and love the franchise. It is a thin concept that children grow past quickly, but for a board book gifted to a two- or three-year-old, it delivers exactly what it promises.
