Counting starts with what they know.
Best-loved toys, foods, and animals open the very first numbers, turning each count into something they recognize.




One favourite stuffie. Two muddy boots. Three noisy trucks—or whatever belongs in their world. Familiar things become a playful first-numbers journey filled with visual discoveries, repetition and plenty to point at together.
A real book, in his hands
His name on the cover. His illustrated character inside. These are family photographs of Ian Counts the Town, his finished Counting With You book.


The cover reads “Ian Counts the Town.” Inside, his illustrated character appears beside five bright planes. Your child’s edition will have its own story and artwork.
Shared through a paid creator collaboration. This is one family’s experience.
One family’s finished book, not a promise of identical artwork or a learning result. See the selected story for its personalization options and available editions.

No two books alike. Every one its own.
First numbers take shape from the things they already point at and name: one favorite stuffie, two muddy boots, three noisy trucks, and on through their world.
Best-loved toys, foods, and animals open the very first numbers, turning each count into something they recognize.
Familiar objects gather across playful spreads, inviting pointing, naming, and repeating at a pace suited to their age.
By the end, counting feels less like a lesson and more like a story of their world they want to revisit.
No two counting books match—their toys, snacks, animals, and daily routines decide what fills every number.
