This is very cute. I think it is a great way to introduce children to counting by ones and counting by tens through manipulatives. And this comes from someone who doesn't like to buy into free advertising (in other words to have cheerio shoved down my child's eyes when I buy the book). But this is a great book.

Two thoughts- we have another cheerio book that has the place to put the cheerios as a little hole and my son likes that better. And, although the cover of this book lays flat, the pages do not. I had to put a little crease in the pages back by the spine so they would lay flat. This way my son's cheerios (or fakios) won't slip off the page.

Cute book though.

Enjoy.

We have the paperback version of this book. I never imagined that it was an actual "book"; I thought it was just a gimic book that the company sold through its cereal. Having said that, it's not a bad book.

First, the book counts from one to ten, with one number per page. Each page has the number, a picture of that number of Cheerios, a rhyming verse containing the number, and a picture of a different kind of fruit, also demonstrating the number. The rhymes are OK, but not quite natural. As we read each page, I like to count the number of Cheerios. In doing so it's hard to keep the rhyme going. Also, if we stop to notice (or count) the fruit, the rhyme tends to get lost.

Next, the book counts from eleven to twenty on two facing pages. There's lots of fruit to see here, too. The next two pages count to 100 by tens, with the second page having (what I assume to be) one hundred Cheerios on it. Zero is the number on the last page: it "is the number you get when you're done."

This last quote brings me to a likely picky point. The book uses contractions. For this reason, it probably won't serve double duty as an easy reader.

I bought this book because my daughter (18 months)loves Cheerios. This is a great book for number recognition and practicing counting. The numbers 1 through ten are on each page with pieces/slices of fruit and cheerios to count. For example for number 3, a large number three is at the center of the page with 3 pieces of cheerios at the bottom with 3 strawberries at the top. The numbers 11 through 20 are respresented in one page with only the numbers showing.

If you are looking for a book to teach numbers 1 through 20, this is a great book!

This book was a great find, I have a young infant child who is just starting to read and she considers this one of her favorite books. She loves the colors in this book and the many shapes and ways that help her learn to count. She enjoys counting so much, she will even count her food and its such a joy to see her eyes light up when learning to count along.

As all the Cheerios Books are, this is a rare Counting 1 2 3 Book, difficult to find and so enjoyed by our little ones. It is colorful, pages are not cluttered and the reading and counting skills learned are fun! It's a must have for parents, teachers and especially little curious minds!

I saw this book in a doctor's waiting room and was attracted to it by the title word "Cheerios" which the intended recipient loves. The colors were bright and cheerful for a toddler and I found the book readily available at Amazon.com. I liked it being available in hard cover.

This book is definitely fun and colorful. My 12 month old daughter loves to look at the pages and touch the holes where the cheerios go. She does not, however, understand that she's "supposed" to place the cheerios in the holes - she eats them instead! So while we read the book and look at the pages, we don't do too much with actual cheerios just yet...maybe when she's a little older.

My son loves food and this book is his first book that he will listen to and look at the pictures. He LOVES it!
