This
counting book has a flare for the imagination.
Rather than just a basic counting book of one to ten objects this books
takes you beyond what you see on the page to your mind’s eye. Instead of common objects a child would count
each page has an unusual item to count such as “eight for sand counting out the
hours” and “five for secret creatures in a glove”. The illustration leaves a mystery or question
with it. The child is encouraged to
imagine more as the text is read.
The illustrations themselves
are not typical of most counting books for young children. There is a very modern artistic tone to the
way the colors are used and the people are drawn.
For the child that is
chronological young but mentally in tune to deeper thoughts I would recommend
this book. If you are looking for a book
that is very different and thought provoking this book will be the perfect fit.
I received this book free from the publishers in exchange for my honest review.
