Our Review

This vibrant counting book from beloved children's author Eric Carle offers young readers an engaging introduction to numbers through his signature collage-style illustrations. Each page presents clear, bold numerals alongside corresponding quantities of familiar objects and animals, creating a visual feast that makes early math concepts accessible and fun. The sturdy board book format withstands enthusiastic little hands, while the colorful artwork captures attention and encourages repeated exploration of number recognition and counting practice.

What sets this counting book apart is Carle's masterful ability to transform basic number learning into an artistic experience, where children encounter his distinctive hungry caterpillars, brown bears, and other favorite characters throughout their numerical journey. Parents and educators will appreciate how seamlessly it blends foundational math skills with visual literacy development, making it an ideal choice for toddlers beginning their counting adventure and preschoolers reinforcing number concepts through captivating imagery they'll want to revisit again and again.
