Review: Spot Can Count

Spot Can Count
by Eric Hill

Publication Date: 1999
Publisher: Puffin
ISBN: 978-0-140-56701-4

Spot the dog is a classic, and this lift-the-flap book follows him around the farm counting animals. There isn’t really a story per se, it begins with Spot telling his dad that he can count to ten and then the rest of the book follows the formula: “How many … are in the …?” and you lift the flap to find the answer. This book is a great introduction to numbers, counting and farm animals. Kids always love the interactive experience of lifting the flaps. Beware with younger children, though. It pays to have a glue-stick and some cellotape handy for the inevitable flap repairs you’ll be making!

My rating:  3.8 out of 5
