This colourful counting board book is perfect for little ones. Counting from one to ten the book includes various Australian animals, presented in English and Ritharrŋu language from East Arnhem Land. Thick outlines surround each animal with the verbal text predictably placed, with the English version on the left hand side and the Ritharrŋu version on the right. Coloured background without borders further ensures this is perfect for the intended age group. Information is included at the back of the book about the Ritharrŋu language with pronunciation tips. Jill Daniels lives in Ngukurr and is a Ritharrŋu and Madarrpa woman from South East-Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory.
