The class liked this one. We read the original nursery rhyme the day before. My class learned the names of some new animals (lemur, magpie...) When we finished, we counted how many animals (and a person) were in the book all together.

Excellent book. I can even forgive some of the clunkier rhymes because I enjoy the whole concept very much.

The ends is quite contrived, but it's a fun cumulative tale.

I'm buying this book for my children some day. If I have children, that is, since looking after my 2- and 4-year-old cousins for a week has sort of put me off that idea...

But I loved this book! The illustrations were adorable, and the story was so sweet and funny.

Annabelle and I enjoyed this very much; it provided a good counting exercise as well as funny rhymes and introductions to various animals. Written in British English, it had some phrasing that was unfamiliar to Annabelle.

Great book for teaching numbers and memory comprehension skills. The teacher can read while interacting with the students by asking how many animals will there be next and what type of animal do you think will show up.

Little Miss Muffet is still sitting on her tuffet eating curds and whey, but along came a variety of animals with all sorts of food and decorations for a surprise. Great counting book.

Excellent illustrations.

Pleasant and competent reworking of the Little Miss Muffet nursery rhyme to encourage young readers to learn to count to ten.

I appreciate the inclusion of the original rhyme--it's a small but important detail!
