This counting book teaching youngsters how to count from one to five is a 2.5 for me. While I loved the idea of colorful, raised shapes for each of the numbers and the fact that little fingers can trace those shapes, the fact that all of them are visible as the pages are turned could be confusing to someone who is just learning to recognize those numbers. This issue can be addressed by having an adult point to the number of fish on each page, but even my adult eyes felt disconcerted until I lifted the page and could see that one figure stood out more than the others. Rhyming text and a surprise ending add to the book's appeal as do the friendly fish swimming through the board book's pages.

The textured numbers are lots of fun for R (8 months) and the story is simple but cute.

This is a sweet basic rhyming book that toddlers will love with a tactile element.

This is a well-written book with cute illustrations, but I had to knock down from a five because having all five numbers visible on each page defeats the book’s object.
