Product description

When Baby and Mama go to market, Baby is so adorable that the banana seller gives him six bananas. Baby eats one and puts five in the basket, but Mama doesn’t notice. She’s too busy buying rice. As Mama and Baby wend their way through the market stalls, cheeky Baby collects five juicy oranges, four sugary chin-chin biscuits, three roasted sweetcorn cobs and two pieces of coconut. After a while, Mama notices that her basket is getting very heavy. Poor Baby, she thinks – he must be very hungry by now!

A beautifully bright counting story full of colour and flavour

By storyteller Atinuke, who writes the Anna Hibiscus books

Rhythmic language, visual humour and a bounty of tasty food

Simply wonderful artwork – exuberant, detailed and very cute

“You can feel the love that the author and illustrator of Baby Goes to Market have for West Africa, both of whom grew up there … Each page is gloriously filled with tantalising pictures of delicious things to eat and colourful things to buy, and there’s a gentle introduction to simple counting too.” LoveReading
