"Count my Squares" is a fun, rhyming book and a wonderful way for your toddler to count numbers 1-20! This book is also a clever tool to help your little one learn about creating art using both colors and squares!

(Source: Downloaded for free from Amazon.co.uk.) This is a very simplistic book, where rectangles are added on each page to make a picture of a giraffe. It's not much of a story, but my 3-year-old really likes turning the pages and counting the rectangles up to 20. If your child likes counting, then they will probably like this!
