A colorful and imaginative album based on the principle of accumulation, in which learning to count has never been easier.

Since his dad is the best giraffe artist in the world, a little boy asks him to get to work. But why limit himself to drawing just one? The child insists that his father add another, then two, and why not three more? But how far will this whim go?
