From Booklist
Ages 2-6. This colorful counting guide is a good book to use with children of different skill levels, and it will also work well as a child's skills advance. It is packed with exercises in counting, addition, subtraction, number placement, and fractions. Barber encourages children to relate numbers to everyday life while having fun. She also challenges kids to combine various mathematical concepts by asking them, for example, to count the sides of each shape or recognize the longest object in a picture. Each exercise has instructions clearly printed at the top of the page; a second set of instructions, for more advanced counters, appears at the bottom of the page. The bold, lively illustrations are definite attention grabbers. A helpful letter to adults suggests ways to use the book. Cynthia Turnquest
