An ADORABLE counting book, complete with flaps to pull up and down. The kids had a blast reading this one!
Some of the words are a bit tough, so this is definitely one to share between a parent and child. Still, Dagmar is utterly adorable. I can't say enough how much fun this was to read.

It was just ok. It remind me of "The Count" from Sesame Street but, this vampire wasn't as good-looking. Real simple and easy to follow. If you have a very vocal and animated story teller, than this one will pop. If you don't, then it will be just ok.
