Rating:  Summary: Good reading selection Review: I've had this book for my daughter since she was a newborn. She's now 15 months and loves it. The cutout on the front cover intrigues her endlessly. The rhymes are short and cute. She loves to turn the pages herself. This is a book she grabs over and over again to be read.

Rating:  Summary: Not her best one, but pretty good just the same Review: Some of the rhymes reach a bit. If you were a first time writer and you presented this one, you'd be laughed away. However, Boynton's drawings are clever enough. The counting's easy. It's not too typical for a counting book. I do like the ending.
Her characters are always fat little funny animals doing very human things. That's a treat. I like the idea of a mommy cat and a kid cat sitting by the fire in an easy chair having a cat chat.
We read this one a lot. It's a board book so it's nice and durable. My two kids have probably chewed on every book we've got. This one endures.
This could be a good choice for a new mom.
Rating:  Summary: Wonderful Review: This is a wonderful book. I love books for children that have simple pictures that aren't too distracting. When the pictures have too much going on in them, it's hard to get the story. This book has simple pictures. I love books that lead to other activities using the book- for example, in this book we can count the animals, make the sounds of the animals, act like the animals are acting, etc. Wonderful. My son LOVES the last bit- Loud Loud Loud! He gets very excited reading that part. I would say that this doesn't work as a night time book for us. However, this is a wonderful book.
Rating:  Summary: "One is good for a quiet talk...." Review: Unsurprisingly with a name like One, Two, Three!, this is a counting book, but it isn't the average counting book. This is a Boynton book we are talking about after all. In this book we are counting critters. "One is good for a quiet walk. Two is right for a quiet talk." Just like in Hippos Go Berserk, (another book by Sandra Boynton), we count up to ten, but this time we don't count down again and we aren't only counting hippos, although hippos appear many times in the book. (A plus in my mind.) Just like all those other Boynton books, this one rhymes and flows wonderfully. The pictures are excellent too: cute, bright, bold, and colorful. This book rates high on my list of favorite Boynton books. Loggie-log-log-log
