This is a book that uses rhymes and rhythm to teach counting. Full of beautiful illustrations although not culturally sensitive - it was published in the 1950's and is indicative of that time period, it is very simple and sweet.This is the board book version, it is abridged.

Aww... I just love Tudor's artwork.

This should be re-released as a book that is sturdy enough for a child to read over and over again. Lisa Vegan reports that there's a Board Book, but it's abridged - and I agree with her that all the numbers and pictures, all the way up to # 20, are valuable.

There are a lot of pink flowers in here, but my little sons would have enjoyed this nevertheless. Nature is beautiful, and even tomboys and Tonka fans can be raised to appreciate it - especially with help from books like this. ( )

This is one of the most beautiful illustrated books I've read. The images are soft and lovely. The reader feels like you are reading and falling into a soft, puffy bedspread of pastel colors. I enjoyed this book so much that I'm going to purchase a copy.

A 1957 Caldecott honor book, using the numbers one - twenty, and alternating two-page spreads between black on one spread and then color on the next two page spread.

This is the first book I've read of Tasha Tudors delightful art work. I will be seeking more.
