The idea behind this counting-practice book seems to be this: Animals make perfect counting companions.
Why would that be? Hello! Pigs can't count.
Yet kindergarten kids, and older kids too, do find animals comforting, reassuring, friendly.
When readers feel reassured by the friendly, clean, standardized little fantasy piglets, then it's easier for them to do this strange human activity of counting things.
In this book children open up their imaginations and manage to count from 11 to 20. With help from the cheerful piglets.
Sure, I'll give this book FIVE STARS. Learning matters.
