review 1: One Pup’s Up is a counting book that follows ten boisterous puppies through their day from start to finish, one to ten and back again. Each activity to be counted is marked by the number of puppies involved, such as 4 pups drink, 5 puppies huddle, and so on. The verses rhyme and flow well for a pleasant read-aloud experience that will hold the attention of older babies and toddlers alike. Each number is very recognizable in large bold typeface, followed by slightly smaller bold text describing the pup’s activities. The puppies activities are realistic and recognizable to anyone who has ever been around puppies, and little ones will certainly find their playful nature entertaining and silly. The watercolor illustrations are soft and colorful, portraying the puppies ... moreand their surroundings well. One Pup’s Up is a cute and fun counting book that will be enjoyable to those into counting as well as those not there yet.
review 2: I LOVE this new counting book!. It's illustrated with adorable colored drawings by Henry Cole, and the expressions on the dogs faces are so cute you just want to say AAAWW. The rhyming text is very simple; here's an example: "1 pup's up/2 puppies tumble./3 puppies roll in a fuzzy puppy jumble." This book is suitable for toddlers and preschoolers, as well as puppy lovers! The puppies do all the normal puppy activities, chasing, pouncing, bouncing balls, even piddling at the park, and then the counting goes backwards from 10 until the very active puppies are sleepy again. less
