I will certainly keep my eye out for more books by these two." -Cheryl Schopen for Readers' Favorite "The book is vibrant with color, satisfyingly simple as an introduction for young readers just learning numbers, and includes plenty of 'action scenes' lending to parental read-aloud and easy reader learning (including dog bones scattered in each picture for kids to easily find - and count!)." - Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review
