Amazon.com Review

Luscious, luscious jelly beans! Can you count how many white jelly beans are in the red square of jelly beans? Can you find your way through the maze of blue jelly beans? Can you discover four different shapes formed by clusters of orange, pink, white, and yellow jelly beans? What better way to learn basic counting and identifying skills than with a heap of the flavorful little candies? This assortment of jelly bean puzzles and activities includes search and finds, counting games, brainteasers, secret messages, and silly mix-ups for a very sweet educational experience. There's even a section with superchallenges for hot shots who have mastered the rest of the games and an answer key to check your work. Sturdy, thick pages and brilliant, life-size photos of candy, toys, and other delights (including a remarkable butterfly made entirely out of jelly beans), ensure that this Fun Book is a treat for the eyes as well as the mind. And no dentist bills!

Karen Capucilli's glistening, delicious photos have also appeared in Salsa, a cookbook by Reed Hearon. (Ages 2 to 5) --Emilie Coulter

From Publishers Weekly

The Jelly Bean Fun Book by Karen Capucilli offers just that, as readers search the photos to count the jelly beans, name the shapes they make or trace a maze.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good counting book, March 11, 2001

By

This review is from: The Jelly Bean Fun Book (Hardcover)

This book was recommended to me by a math teacher. It is like most of the other counting books (M&Ms, Goldfish, etc), except that it can be used to teach colors. It also makes for talking about your favor type of jelly beans. It is a good book.
