Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Yum! This delicious counting book offers much more than the numbers one to ten. Each page is a feast of sweet, sugary treats--coconut kisses, peanut-butter cookies, Linzer hearts, and more are carefully concocted and counted by mouse chefs. The tempting desserts are made all the more delectable by Robert Sabuda's brilliant pop-up constructions that leap from the pages, practically into your salivating mouth. Aesthetes will swoon at the magical beauty of this exquisite book, and the engineers in the crowd will wonder, "How did he do that?" Sabuda's astounding creations may be too delicate for excessive youthful probing, but the sing-song rhyme, counting exercises, and joyous paper explosions of confectionery delights make this a wondrous read-aloud for the sweet-toothed of all ages. (Ages 3 and up)

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Pop Up Book Ever Made!, June 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Cookie Count: A Tasty Pop-up (Hardcover)

Cookie Count IS the best pop up book ever made! It's like an amusement park made of cookie rides. Swirling, pop up, moving cookies rise from each page. A masterpiece! Now all he has to do is make one that we can eat too!

This review is from: Cookie Count: A Tasty Pop-up (Hardcover)

We got this book as a Christmas gift last year. This pop-up book is like no other that I have seen. The children learn to count as they watch the paper come alive. The rhymes are easy to learn and my 3 year old daughter loves to say them as she turns the pages. Note: She is a very careful child, many children would tear the book as it is kind of delicate. She also counts the cookies and the hiding mice on each page. The colors are explosive and even I like reading this book over and over. I cannot even imagine how he gets paper to do the things that they do... cookies rotate, pinwheels rise out of the page and twirl, and a life sized gingerbread house magically climbs out of the book. I would highly recommend this book as long as they will not handle the book roughly. Better yet, read it with them and teach them to be gentle.

My mother brought home the 12 Days Of Christmas by Sabuda and then, the next Christmas, I got this book. Sure, I'm nineteen, but it doesn't matter! This book is absolutly wonderful. The last page is just waiting to be seen, but you can't rush past all the other creations. Anyone who loves their childhood should get this to remember it
