If you or your child are into cute, fuzzy, young animals, these books will definitely be a hit. The critters are almost too adorable. But this book is much more than just a set of cute images because it also has nice rhymes following the hide-and-seek story, and because of the clever little tidbits the illustrator added to the brightly colored images. You're given some clues (mostly visual) about who the Bear will be finding next. And there is a little mouse scurrying around in most of the images, and at the end everyone's trying to figure out where the mouse is. It's really well done. I checked out Ten in the Den by the same authors at a bookstore afterwards, and thought this was an overall better storyline and offered more ways to interact with your child using the images.

This story has soft illustrations with nicely rhyming text. It won't teach numbers and counting (as the title might imply), but it is a cute story about some friendly animals. There is quite a variety of animals included and the entire book was quite a hit with my two and a half year old.

The rhyming mixed with the cadence of the book is nice and the animals are cute and "cuddly" as my little girl says. That means it is a 5 out of 5 from us!
