Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreS. A counting story told in rhyme that centers on a cheerful baby boy and his possessions as described by his affectionate older sister. In between one nose and ten toes are spoons, hats, teddy bears, and other familiar items. Less a concept book than a bouncy poem, it has no numerals or written-out numbers prominently displayed. The objects to be counted are identifiable, but are interwoven into pictures of happy infant life and not set out obviously. The charm and meaning of the text are really in the close, positive sibling relationship. Winsome, warm watercolors in double-page spreads show a loving, comfortably situated white family in the midst of familiar, everyday activities and having fun together.?Patricia Pearl Dole, formerly at First Presbyterian School, Martinsville, VA

From Booklist
Ages 2^-5. In this family story/counting book, the rhyming text moves from 1 to 10 as a young girl sings the praises of her little baby brother: "My baby brother / has one tiny nose / that wiggles about / when I tickle his toes." The busy, jelly-bean colored paintings show such typical infant activities as dressing, playing, and bathing. Although the characters are cherublike, they are also a bit disheveled, and the household is believably cluttered. There's nothing special about the verse, and the pictures may be too sweet for some tastes, but young kids will like the focus on the familiar, not to mention the objects to count, and many parents may appreciate the upbeat sibling relationship.
