These small books ask children to count to 10. Each number is given its own spread. A colorful photo of creatures, objects, landscapes, or plants on the left faces a large number with a description, such as "Five eggs" or 'Two big claws." The objects to count vary: sometimes children count whole animals, but other times they count parts, such as cactus arms or paws. These titles are so basic that students will have no trouble using them on their own, except for the couple of photos where the animals are close together and one may be missed at first pass. Many of the stock photos are captioned and show natural wildlife scenes. These volumes may give new readers additional opportunities to learn their numbers, but theyre not particularly notable., School Library Journal Fall 2012
