Summary/Back cover:
The concept of numbers and counting from 1 to 5 is demonstrated by the Baby Einstein characters in a variety of playful, amusing scenarios. Young children will delight in finding, naming, and counting a variety of objects in each illustration. The book also builds vocabulary, and teaches the names of parts of the body.
Review:
My almost-3 year old loves this book - the general gist is that each page has five questions along the lines of "How many sunflowers are painted on the canvas?" and ""How many bananas is the monkey holding?" - the questions are simple, the numbers are counting from 1 to 5, and kids seem to love it! I honestly thought my son would be bored of it halfway through, but he's read it over and over, and enjoys taking it to bed to read to himself - the version we have is a board book, so is perfect for this. I enjoy listening to him reading to himself - "How many baby ducks are there? One, two, three, four, five." Occasionally followed by "sixseveneightnineten!!"
It's not a reading book as such, as there's no storyline, but this book slotted into both our reading time and our play time quite happily - my almost-1 year old enjoyed looking at the pictures, and his big brother enjoyed 'reading' it to him: "That's a duck. You say 'duck'. There's one, two, three ducks."
My rating: 4 out of 5. A great book for early counters.
