Miffy's Counting Book (Miffy (Big Tent Entertainment))

Rating:
Summary: Playfully count to ten
Review: This book is first a counting book (from one to ten) with the typical pictures that Dick Bruna is known for: bright basic colours and very recognizable objects for kids. Rather than just counting dots or something, you're counting animals, sailboats, plates, glasses of juice, cars, crayons, and balloons. I use this book to talk about colours, shapes, and sounds. I like the fact that it is a boardbook, nice and stury for handling by toddlers.

Summary: Great First Counting Book for Infants
Review: We started reading this book to my son when he was just a few weeks old. From the very beginning he was entranced by the simple illustrations and the soothing text. Accompanying each illustration is a brief description. "One Big Ball"; "Two Elephants Over Here"; "Three Glasses of Juice" and so on... It's so simple that when my son would fuss on the changing table, I would just have to start reciting the book from memory and he would calm down... He's now 13 months, and still likes to read this book. The pages are very sturdy with built in tabs, so that the littlest hands can turn them. I highly recommend this book.
