review 1: This was a fairly unique counting book. I don't think I've read a children's book where a character returns a ring to a man about to propose, but I've certainly read 1,000 books about bears/dinosaurs/going to bed. (Edited because I reread it. Sorry for any inaccuracies.)On the count six signs page, I misread it as count six stop signs and wondered why there was only one and also asked myself what intersection would have 6! That should have been my clue that I had misunderstood.On the count the babies page, one pram has a teddy inside instead of a baby, so if a younger child were counting they could be confused but this could make counting the parts of the picture more enjoyable for an older child who can distinguish the difference better.
review 2: We won a cop... morey of this book through First Reads. I passed the envelope to my 6 year old son on the way home from the post office and he was excited to flip through the book. My 7 year old wasn't interested at all. I read it to my 6 year old later that afternoon and he counted the objects as we read. It was a sweet story with a unique spin on numbered objects. It didn't have a lot of "meat" to it - it was a very, very quick read, even for a picture book. What struck me most about the book are the illustrations - they are absolutely beautiful! I even saved the coordinating note card from the author. I will be passing the book along to my niece as I think perhaps it would be enjoyed more by a little girl. less
