Learn to count from one to ten with this nature-inspired treasure hunt, which contains 70 first words to see and say. Turn the tabs of the chunky boards book to discover all the colors of the rainbow. Visual learning made fun.
I actually thought this book was to help young children with their colors, but it is really to help them to learn counting skills. I felt some things were a little ambiguous for small children such as identifying and counting specific flowers, for example. Some were shown as fully bloomed specimens and others as barely opening buds. I think that might be confusing to the little ones in identification purposes. The same happened with fruits. Sometimes the book shows a whole fruit, sometimes a half of a fruit and other times as sliced halves of a fruit. Each whole fruit and each individual half was counted as a whole fruit, but if there were two halves sliced apart, then it would only be considered one whole. I think that is a bit confusing for little ones to grasp (when should a half be considered a whole).
What I like about this book is the variety of objects included. Readers are exposed to a variety of colored "things" not typically found in children's books like chilies, poppies, avocados, etc.. This book can serve a dual purpose for learning colors and counting objects. The sturdy construction and tabbed pages make it easy for little hands to explore.
I received this book via Goodreads - First to read. I thought there were too many pictures on a page, making them awfully small for a 2 - 3 year old. Also, some of the items were confusing - certain type of flower - not just a flower. I don't see a child bringing this one out over and over
