The Hunt for the Number Thieves

A fun, original, and playful picture book that sparks children's curiosity about numbers!

One day, numbers start disappearing, from houses, football jerseys, train stations, clocks, diving towers, and beach kiosks. They vanish everywhere, and no one understands what’s going on. Chaos ensues!

Then the truth is revealed: thieves are at work. They’ve stolen the numbers to attend the Number Ball in the Tax Paradise! But when the police suddenly show up at the party, the number thieves have to flee, and in their haste, they put the numbers back in all the wrong places...

The Hunt for the Number Thieves is perfect for curious young children who love funny books with lots to discover. Here they get to join the number hunt! This is a vibrant and original picture book by Sunniva Relling Berg, with colourful and delightfully wacky illustrations by Skinkeape. Spot on for little number detectives aged 3 to 6.
