Reviews

[Tricia · Rating 2 out of 5]

Liked the illustrations and the counting concept...thought it may be better if the text didn't blur together on the same page (e.g. "six monkeys. seven monkeys" using 7 monkeys to describe both 6 and 7.

This book helps develop a child's skills in reading number words. A great concept but a bit confusing when it goes up to twelve and eleven is missing. Cute concept but the story was just average.
