My daughter is 6 yrs old and is just learning to read. She and I were reading this book for the first time, and less than half way through she caught on to the pairs numbers and rhythming words. It was nice to see her make the contection. She was pleased with her achievement.

The book is written in rhyme with a cadence closely resembling "One, two, buckle my shoe." It protrays a happy girl's life (Barbi's) revolving entirely around shopping, getting dressed and going out with boys. Ken has the presence of a manikin. There are many children's book that teach counting through rhyme and rhythm. Most that I have seen are more substantive, more human, and more fun than this book.

This is a rather simple reading book, but perfect for the beginner! My daughter is learning to read in school. So we bought her this simple Level 1 reader book. She read through quickly and was pleased with herself once she was done because of the ease and rythemic flow of the book. I was pleased because it was a nice simple book to begin reading, and because I felt that the ryming aspect motivated her to want to read more (she was very proud when she finished). Thumbs up!
