"These board books are super-quick reads with all pictures and numbers. Perfect for teaching my two year old to count."  —www.classymommy.com on the Cool Counting Books series

"These books are really colorful and fun."  —The Examiner

"We can count on reading 123 Chicago everyday in our house. It's on [our daughter's] most-requested list."  —DailyCandy.com

"Here's a twist on the traditional count-to-ten board book. What's neat about this book is that the final pages include full descriptions of each icon or place, in English and Spanish."  —The Full Mommy

"This is a great counting book and its perfect for the little ones that are learning to count."  —Cindy's Love of Books

"These may be the coolest counting books ever. Simply illustrated with graphic images, you can count along to 10 with the icons of famous cities, states, and the country."  —Cool Kids Gifts

"We can't wait to share the whole big world with the little people in our lives, especially some of our favorite places right here in the USA. Is there any way Chicago-style pizza could make an acceptable first food for baby?" —Pregnancy & Newborn magazine (March 2011)

My 2yo daughter can't get enough of this book. The images are vibrant and she loves to point at the pictures and name the objects. For my 4 year old, the book evokes many fun memories to outings around Chicago. We read this one at least once each day.

This review is from: 123 Chicago: A Cool Counting Book (Cool Counting Books) (Board book)

This is a cute book, I love the tie in with things from Chicago. However, the front and back covers are printed upside down. I do not think it is supposed to be like this. It is a little annoying for a small child (or parent reader).
