5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Artwork June 5, 2003
Format:Board book
This book has some of the most beautiful artwork you will ever see in a children's book. My 17 month old took a few tries to warm up to the story, and it still isn't a favorite of hers. A lot of times we will just sit and look at the pretty pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun Way to Learn Counting October 29, 2001
Format:Board book
What's really interesting about this book is the art work. Your child would be mesmerized with the vibrant colors, beautiful and detailed artwork. These elements work to get your child interested in the book. What's more, there's a simple story that goes with it which makes the book fun to read. Eventually, your children will learn to count after reading the book over and over and over again. (You know kids, once they like a book, they'll ask you to read it for umpteen times!). Thus, our intention of wanting them to learn or wanting to introduce them to numbers is finally achieved. It is done subconsciusly, which is good, coz we don't want them to feel stress out. The interest just comes along on its own without us forcing it through.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly wonderful August 15, 2000
By A Customer
Format:Board book
This is a wonderful book. I have been reading it to my 2 3/4 son for the past year and he loves it. The book is full of wonderfully colored illustrations that are very eye catching. My only complaint is that some of the pages are very busy which makes it difficult to find and count some of the insects. But, this is a minor complaint.
