Creative poetic counting book with a cute story behind it. Recommend to any child in their 1-10 counting stage. My only complaint is that the spelling of the numbers isn't anywhere on the pages. Nice big numbers kids can trace their fingers on. No wonder Betsy Lewin is the Caldecott Honor winning illustrator. It's easy as 1-2-3 to fall in love with her paintings.

Parents of preschoolers are always asking, in our library, for counting books. It is delightful to be able to hand them this adorably illustrated, whimsical book. I am grateful to both author and illustrator for recognizing the important place learning to count has in the world of the toddler.

My 3-year-old daughter has loved this book since she was 1. The illustrations are beautiful, the rhythm engaging, the story line of the animals conspiring to free the fish is endearing and very funny. It's simply a great book that happens to integrate counting. I hope we keep reading it for years to come.

Children will delight in this fun barnyard adventure, and work on their counting skills too! Fun and creative watercolor illustrations are very appealing to children. Great for preschoolers. To the 1-star review given, yes the storyline here is very basic, but that is because it is a concept book - it was written to teach the concept of counting, not to tell a story, though it does that as well. Overall, I would highly recommend this story. Only criticism is that it does not show the spelling of the numbers.

This is a great book for a little one. They can learn and have so much fun while doing it. My five year old loves it and it is amazing how quickly he is learning to count.

If it weren't for the absolutely charming characters/illustrations that our kids know from the other "Click Clack" books, this boook would have no appeal whatsoever. The other books show the delightful author's wit and humor. This book's limited subject material (counting 1 to 10) just didn't give her enough opportunity.
