Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Vivid colors, bold design and crisp photography combine in Christiane Gunzi's My Very First Look at Numbers, photographed by Steve Gorton. Focusing on numbers 1-10, then up to 50 in increments of 10. The opening spread shows a photograph of "one teddy bear" set against a hot pink background with the numeral "1" in yellow. Below, black print on a deep blue band asks, "What color is teddy's ribbon?" In a final spread of 100 beads, the text asks youngsters to find the yellow beads and striped beads. Simultaneously published in hardcover and soft, other titles in My Very First Look At series include: Colors, Sizes and Shapes.

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Jaunty photographs of everyday items from sneakers to candy set double-page scenes for discussion in these two concept books. In Numbers, children are asked to identify the objects on a page and then asked a question about them, e.g., "two shoes/What color are your shoes?" Unfortunately, the queries may confuse. A page on which youngsters are asked to "point to the orange ball" shows a basketball and a beach ball that has an orange section. This book also asks, "Which is your favorite" three times, as if the author ran out of questions. In the busy Sizes book, Gunzi challenges youngsters to differentiate between thick and thin, long and short, as well as the typical big and small. Visual misconceptions appear when looking at "same" and "different." The pictured items appear approximately the same size on the page, but in reality are greatly diverse-which is the child to address? These books fail in their execution.

This review is from: My Very First Look at Numbers (Board book)

I've had this book since my boy was 2 years old. He's now 3.5 years and still picks it up to read it. It's been very helpful in teaching him numbers. It's bright and colorful. Great book! I'm glad its in our library.
