Book for Esher

The book was fascinating because of the different colors and shapes of the buttons and prompted a new project for my grandson: a button collection.

Wonderful patchwork of a counting book!

This is a delightful counting book for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. The author-illustrator is an accomplished quilter and has managed to fuse both her passion for quilting and writing into this book. Each page is a burst of bright colors with a quilt for the background, and a number on each quilt. It follows the rhyme of "One two buckle my shoe" and besides the number being represented, button/s are also placed beside each number so that a child can count the number of button/s to correspond to each number. The numbers are only presented symbolically, i.e. not spelt out. This is a welcome addition to books on counting and a beautifully presented one at that.
