Wow, this is amazing. Nothing but a marketing ploy by a large company producing worthless food. Oreo cookies for adults who can make their own decisions about eating heavily processed foods loaded with sugar and trans-fats is one thing, but for kids? There is enuf pressure in the world for kids to eat terrible things for them... the junk food industry should stay out of kids books.

This is a cute book that is very sturdy (glossy surfaced card board.) The Oreo design adds to the fun. I bought this to set next to the Agatha Christie book And Then There Were None.

The basic story or scheme is that one starts out with 10 cookies. Through a series of events the cookies disappear one by one until...

Kids get bombarded at every angle with the message that junk food is fun, kid-friendly, and harmless. Now it's educational? I would run, not walk, from any book like this. If you want your kid to count food, at least pick something nutritious. There's no need to line Nabisco's pockets at the expense of your children's health. They'll get the junk food message everywhere else--let's at least try to keep it out our children's books.

My son (2 years old) loves this book! The words are simple and concise so they can hold his attention, the illustrations are so beautiful and so detailed, you can even see the real design on the Oreo cookies! Colours and textures are painstakingly and lovingly rendered, and an easy metered rhyme beats out the perfect tune for a read-along. My son has learnt to count down the numbers as the cookies slowly disappear one by one. A beautiful, vibrant and entertaining book for the youngest children .. plus, it teaches them to count down too!
