Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2–Three books designed to reinforce the concept of counting by twos to 20. While the text for Footprints is rather repetitive and uninspired, Eggs and Pie deliver lively and interesting story lines. These books follow the same organization, with each page depicting the number as part of the text, as a series of dots, and as a numeral cleverly hidden within the illustration. The boldly colored cartoons practically leap off the page and provide effective picture clues. Young readers will also appreciate the appended "Fun Facts" sections that relate bits of trivia (such as pigs are considered one of the world's smartest animals) in an easy-to-read format.– Robyn Walker, Elgin Court Public School, St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada
