predictable fun

small children will adore this book about numbers from 1 to ten.

A childhood favorite revisited

This was a favorite of my son's since he was a baby. Nicely illustrated and I like the cut-outs showing what the next set of lyrics will be about. I also like that there is a lot to look at on the pages instead of being so simplistic. I do wish the pages were of heavier stock or even a board book so it would be harder for my son to rip the pages, as the cut-outs make it even easier to do so than a regular book.

Time to sing along with Grandpa!

What a delightful sing-a-long book that grandpas and grandchildren can share together. The creative illustrations give hints for the rhymming words that follows on the next page. Each page has realistic, detailed drawings that correspond with the text.
