From Booklist
Ages 3^-7. Beginning with 1 potato, Pomeroy provides numbers of fruits and vegetables for counting 1 through 20, moving by tens up to 50, and finishing with 100 sunflower seeds. The counting is clear and progressively more challenging, and the botanical prints, made with potatoes, are luscious and lovely. Pomeroy gives directions for making potato prints ("children can tell the grown-up what to carve, choose the colors, and do the stamping" ), along with suggestions for things to stamp, such as greeting cards and gift wrap.
