'''Longlisted for the 2017 CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal'''
There are counting books, good counting books and ones where the pictures blow you away, whether you are an adult or a child. ''Counting Lions'' falls into the last category. Just have a look at that lion on the cover: that's not a black and white photograph - that's a drawing and you're going to see another nine of the same glorious quality. In her foreword to the book, Virginia McKenna says that with pictures like these words almost seem unnecessary as we can see all that we need of the unique form and beauty of each creature. But there are words too.
