From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1-This book explores such concepts as counting, numbers, sequencing, pairs, most and least, longest and shortest, and shapes. Each double-page spread begins with a simple direction or question such as: "Can you see which is longer?" The minimal text is straightforward, and the cartoon illustrations of simple shapes in bright colors boldly outlined in black provide clear examples for exploring each concept. A question at the bottom of each page encourages children to take the concept a step further or relate it to everyday life. "Suggestions for parents" offers advice on how to encourage children and make math interesting. A good introduction that is suitable for one-on-one sharing.
