The child I purchased this for adores this book! With interest in leaning numbers she has chosen this book from the shelf daily to run her fingers over the numbers then count each object. It is a delightful experience and without distraction, the blue velvet highlight draw her attention to what she is learning. Well done, we are both happy with the purchase. Also, it was a gift and a delightful card was included which we still have on display : )

I have both of Ellen Gould's books. I've used them in a Montessori environment and at home with grandchildren. They are a delightful way to teach the meaning of numbers.

I live in Germany but my grandson to whom I sent this lives in the US. He is 2 years old and copies everything that his 5 year old brother does. Since his brother loves to learn, he now wants to learn also and tries to count, which ofcourse is too funny. But I figured this book would kind of help him to enjoy to learn also and from what my daughter-in-law tells me, this book helps.

My Down Syndrome son wouldn't spend time with books for the first 3 years of his life. I got this book (actually a 2nd one because the first was water damaged from my oldest son) and would sit down with him and use his finger to count & trace the numbers. He got the tactile feel of what we were looking at. He started bringing this book to me asking to read it to him. Now he loves books and asks me to read to him regularly. My oldest son clearly was helped counting. It is unclear whether my Down Syndrome son is actually learning numbers because of his very limited communications. I am grateful that this book taught my youngest to enjoy books.
