One Pup’s Up is a counting book that follows ten boisterous puppies through their day from start to finish, one to ten and back again. Each activity to be counted is marked by the number of puppies involved, such as 4 pups drink, 5 puppies huddle, and so on. The verses rhyme and flow well for a pleasant read-aloud experience that will hold the attention of older babies and toddlers alike. Each number is very recognizable in large bold typeface, followed by slightly smaller bold text describing t...more
I LOVE this new counting book!. It's illustrated with adorable colored drawings by Henry Cole, and the expressions on the dogs faces are so cute you just want to say AAAWW. The rhyming text is very simple; here's an example: "1 pup's up/2 puppies tumble./3 puppies roll in a fuzzy puppy jumble." This book is suitable for toddlers and preschoolers, as well as puppy lovers! The puppies do all the normal puppy activities, chasing, pouncing, bouncing balls, even piddling at the park, and then the cou...more
Count along to ten with adorable puppies in this picture book. It all starts when one puppy wakes up, then more puppies join in on the fun. They tumble, roll, drink, piddle, chase, and much more. Another puppy joins in the fray with each new activity until dinner time. Then they slowly head to sleep, one at a time, counting down until they are all asleep. Of course, then it starts again the second one pup is up.

The dogs are cute. And it is a good counting book. But it might be too long for the toddlers to go all the way up and then all the way down. Maybe. I'll consider. Might not be too young for preschool, especially if you have them holding up fingers with the counting. At first I thought it might be fun to have them imitate some of the actions. Then I got to 6, laughed, and said "Never mind."
This is how counting books are supposed to be - full of fun, interesting words, engaging illustrations, and characters you want to revisit.
1 pup's up.
2 puppies tumble.
3 puppies roll in a fuzzy puppy jumble.
All ten puppies do cuddly, goofy puppy stuff, then one by one they sag asleep until - one pup's up! So cute, makes me wanna snuggle a puppy!

"One pup's up. Two puppies tumble. Three puppies roll in a fuzzy puppy jumble." This book's infectious rhythm will get you bouncing along with these feisty little doggies. Each number is presented as a large, bold number (not words), and the book differs from other counting books by counting both up to 10 and then back down to 1. Lots of fun!
Engaging puppies! Love their fat little bellies. Great for one-on-one lap time, so grown-ups can talk about all the great language (huddle, pounce, pudgy, tussle, peppy, dines, nudge, muzzle). Might work in a preschool storytime; I think the pictures are a little busy for toddlers.
Bonus points for rhyming "hiccup" and "lick-up."

PB 30: Very cute! A great read aloud because the words rhyme and make it fun to say out loud. It is very simple, which can be good for younger kids (though I tend to lean towards preferring more in depth picture books with more story). Great book to help teach kids to count forward and backward!
My new favorite counting book, especially since my son learned his killer math skills counting dogs at Green Lake. Bouncy rhyme (... 7 pups pounce/ 8 puppies chase / 9 puppies bounce in a pudgy puppy race...) and adorable pups (illustrator did And Tango Makes Three).
It is very hard to write a really good rhyming picture book. Many try, many fail.
But THIS book is fantastic. Perfect rhyme & delightful word play. Bright, adorable lush illustrations.
A winner.

Count forward and backwards with these endearing, energetic pups. Bold, striking typography -- matches playful roundness of the pups. Nice rhymthm and rhyming text.
The predictable rhyming/counting up and down would make a great read aloud to a younger reader. Mine liked some of the other 2x2 titles better than this one.
A rhyming sing-song narrative and adorable illustrations make this counting book a joy to read aloud. Our girls really enjoyed this book and so did I.
Cute illustrations and great vocaulary: follows a very effective, popular, and current counting book format.
my baby LOVES this book. Though, his favorite part seems to be looking at all the puppies on the end pages :)
With Seussical rhythms and cute simple uncluttered illustrations this book attracted my two year old.
An adorable puppy counting book! I would definitely use this with 2 to 4 year olds in story time.
The puppies are soooo cute!! Four stars for the story, the fifth star for cuteness.
Great book to use in storytime with toddlers. It has a simple rhyming text and great tempo.
picture book, counting, rhyming, word play, great story told in pictures

A fun counting book, but I got confused when the black pup disappeared.
What an adorable book! Sure to delight any child and a fun read along, too!
Lincoln has LOVED this counting book full of puppies!
counting book using ten puppies...adorable
Cute dog counting book.
An enjoyable counting book.
cute counting book
fun counting book
This book has puppies and counting, both of which are good things, but the rhyme is pretty forced at times, and doesn't flow the way I might wish. It still is cute and would be fun for storytime with little ones.
