Toddler-PreS–Rhyming text and funny illustrations draw readers into an animal adventure that will have them counting to 10 and beyond. Each spread features an animal and a counting challenge. “Let’s count your arms, Octopus Cate.” “Tickly-tickle, I’ve got eight!”

VERDICT A winning combination of attractive illustration and counting.
