The Newt in the Suit
Written by Margaret Chamberlain
Illustrated by Andrew Weale
Publisher: Hodder Children's Books
ISBN: 978-0-340-98867-1
Summary/Back cover:
There are cockatoos in high-heeled shoes, pigs in wigs, buzzing bees wearing dungarees, and a newt in a suit! But why are all the animals dressed up in their very best clothes? Count from one to ten and join in the birthday party fun!
Review:
This counting book appeals to my 3 year old hugely! There's nothing particularly outstanding about it from a parent's point of view, but the increasingly strangely dressed animals, along with the counting (and recognising numerals) aspect holds preschoolers attention very well.
The illustrations are clear and bright, and surprisingly uncluttered, given that you end up with 55 animals on the second-to-last page (all the animals from one to ten).
A good counting book, with a bit of nonsense thrown in for good measure.
My rating: 3.8 out of 5
