The first thing that drew me to this book was its beautiful illustrations. When I read it with my 4-year old son, he loved counting the number of animals in the pond each time the page turned. It is a wonderful way for him to learn the concept of repetition from page to page and practice his counting skills. It also was a wonderful way for him to work on his higher-order thinking skills. On certain pages, an animal was out of the water, but its tail or leg might still be hanging in the water. It was very interesting to see my child debate whether this animal should be counted in the water or out of the water. This was an excellent book for this age-level.

This counting book is so much fun that the kids want to read it over and over. The drawings are colorful and the use of different animals excites the children. This is for preschoolers up to first grade.

A wonderfully simple story kids relate to helps them to see the results of adding and subtracting as visitors enter and leave a backyard pond. A few red herrings help advanced learners ferret out pertinent vs. non pertinent information. A crowd pleasing story to learn from.

Splash is a great math story. It encourages counting, addition, and subtraction in a creative and fun way. My two year old loves this book! I would purchase more books by Ann Jonas.

I am a preschool teacher and purchased this to do at circle/reading time.
Children love it and so do I. Bright colors, easy to follow and great for addition and subtraction and the children love figuring out what number it is. I love the author. It would be great for a one to one reading as well.
