The story of a flower garden; from planting bulbs in the autumn to the full riot of summer flowers, this book gives a look below the dirt and identifies species as well as highlights the full spectrum of colors in a cascade reminiscent of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

TouchThinkLearn: Numbers, Xavier Deneux
This low word count but heavily tactile book lets kids touch the items being counted, 1-10. Unlike most numbers primers, this one tries to get across the concept of the number, not just encourage rote memorization. Parental sound effects recommended 😉
