5 Little Apples

A Lift-the-Flap Counting Book

Illustrated by Yusuke Yonezu
Look inside

A lift-the-flap counting book for the very young.

See 5 little apples become 4, the 3, as the animals eat them up one by one, until there’s none left. But watch for a wonderful surprise at the end! This is a perfect book for the youngest counters.  

Lift the flap to reveal who eats the apple on each page of this board book—little ones learn to count backwards and begin to subtract! 

This sturdy little book is the perfect size for toddler hands and features basic math concepts, friendly, smiling animals, and bold, bright kid-friendly design. 

Yusuke Yonezu was born in Tokyo, Japan, where he still lives with his wife and children. As a child he loved to draw and make toys out of paper and boxes. He went on to study design and became the creator of many board books, puzzles, and toys beloved by children and their caregivers around the world. View titles by Yusuke Yonezu
"Charming illustrations, sturdy flaps. My two yo loves this book! Sturdy pages and flaps stand-up to toddler’s abuse. Charming illustrations engage toddler’s imagination while reinforcing number and animal identification. Highly recommended!"

"Great little book. Great book for young children who are learning to count and attend to a story. Pages are very sturdy and held my kids interests well. Would recommend!!" 

"This quickly became a favourite with our toddlers... This book is so cleverly done, I went out and bought all of the author's other books. This one remains our favourite as the text & illustrations are simple yet engaging with a lovely surprise at the end."
