5.0 out of 5 stars Captivitating for pre-schoolers, November 18, 1999

This review is from: One, Two, Three With Ant and Bee: A Counting Story (Ant & Bee) (Hardcover)

I was originally bought this book by my parents when I was between six and seven years old back in 1972. By sheer fluke I found it, along with 2 others at the bottom of an old toy box. I now read it to my two sons , Michael (age 3) and Oliver (age 2), who are captivated by it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Whimsical Characters and Fun Adventures for Preschoolers, August 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: One, Two, Three With Ant and Bee: A Counting Story (Ant & Bee) (Hardcover)

I got my first Ant and Bee book for my son on a recommendation from a nursery school teacher from the Bank Street School. My son is not quite two years old, and already follows the pictures and words in these classic books with glee. And because they are just his size, in bright colors, he especially likes to carry them with him when we travel. He likes pointing out characters like the Zoo Man and the Kind Dog, and of course, Ant and Bee. Most interesting about these books is that the text itself is fun for children to look at. Key words are highlighted with varying fonts and colors, and sections are sprinkled with minature versions of pictures from larger illustrations. In One Two Three... Bee takes care of Ant after a bad fall. We count the groceries Ant dropped, and all the treats he gets from visiting friends as he gets well. Each book has its own special twist with familiar objects. I recommend the entire series. It's too bad these are hard to find. They! are wonderful. If Amazon can get them for you, it will be worth any wait!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book for the young, and young at heart., January 10, 2001

This book makes counting a delight. The illustrations are colorful and it tells a story of friendship between the ant and the bee. I have owned this book since 1978 and read it to my son. I like the fact that the numbers are displayed plainly so that children can count along with the story.
