Reviews

[Meredith · Rating 2 out of 5]

A haunted house prepares for a Halloween party, teaching counting 1-to-10 and simple addition.

This book has quaint whimsical illustrations, but it is not very helpful as a concept book that teaches counting or basic addition. The counting is not in sequential order, and the numbers are spelled out rather than written as numerals.
