One Newt In The Suit is great fun. It has an energy and silliness to it that doesn't always come through in other counting books. You'll learn the numbers, but even when you know the numbers inside and out, you'll keep coming back for more. It is zippy and bright, and shows that playing with language is lots of fun. Margaret Chamberlain's illustrations suit the mood perfectly. They're big and bold, with plenty of jollity on every page. You'll love it whether you know how to count up to ten or not. Andrew Weale is a brand-new voice to add to the Hodder list. A great way to build Margaret Chamberlain on the list with a young text. There's one newt in a suit, and he's looking very dapper. He's joined by two snazzy-looking flies in ties, three cockatoos in high-heeled shoes, and so on up to ten. This is a counting book with lots of well-dressed animals going about their business. What's not to love about bees in dungarees or bats in top hats? Everything's vibrant and colorful, so it draws you in and is sure to have you poring over every page. Alright!
