Reviews

I had been looking forward to this book for a while, because I've so thoroughly enjoyed other books by Tullet. Now that I've finally gotten my hands on a copy and read it, I think I set my expectations too high. This is a good book, with a clever approach to counting and learning numbers up to 100 (and a few more beyond 100). However, it doesn't have that spark and zing that I loved about the other books.

Content warning: Some people might be bothered with the section on "creation." This is not the strictest/traditional Holy Bible creation--for one thing, it includes dinosaurs. It does show the creation of "man" before "woman", but know that the figures are nude. My biggest complaint is, why did the man-figure get a fig leaf, but the woman-figure got nothing?

10 X 10 = 100

And yet 10 X 10 < everything else from Tullet I've read.

Yes this book is all about counting but I am unsure if it is geared for kids or adults or who the target audience is because there is a section on creation where we get biblical themes. Man gets covered up in a leaf, woman in the nude. Did not enjoy reading this book to my daughter.

[Tara · Rating 3 out of 5]

Neat book and a bit artsy. Not sure that I could use it in any storytime or programming.

[Cindy Williams · Rating 2 out of 5]

Very odd & tries to do too much. Adam (fig leaf) & Eve (birthday suit?) with dinosaur?! Head with 4 eyes, five mouths, six feet, seven arms, eight nostrils, nine teeth & 10 hairs = very creepy.

Genre: Counting Picture Book

Awards: None

Audience: I would recommend using this book for babies including ages 0-2 or 4 yrs old. The pages are wide which creates durability for the use with babies but the counting can also be beneficial for ages beyond birth and 1.

A. I know this book first the category of a Counting Picture Book because it is created for being handled by young readers such as babies up to age 4. Furthermore it is a counting book because each page presents a number in a different form (a hand, a car, an animal, etc.).

B. One visual element of the book that I find to be very impactful to readers is the use of color as each page has vivid and bright colors. This engages young readers attention and the colors create a fun-loving and positive mood for the book and its contents.

C. I would use this book with younger children as a one-on-one reading to help them build a sense of number sense and identifications of colors and various number representations.

D. A question I would use for the REMEMBER level of Blooms Taxonomy would be: “What is one of the parts of the bodies (hand, foot, arm, etc.) that is counted after the first set of 10 numbers has been counted?”

- Answer: Fingers on a hand is the aspect of the human body counted next after the first set of 10 numbers has been counted.

SUMMARY
Herve Tullet counts to ten--ten times, in ten different ways. The reader navigates through creatively rendered numbers, fingers, paints, body parts, and more, discovering dynamic depictions of the number ten. Multiple representations presented in a repetitive way helps young learners conceptualize the number ten (and beyond).

ACTIVITY
Students brainstorm ways they can count to ten. Options may include drawing or choosing objects in the room. Work in partners, groups, or individually. Another variation is to make this a take home activity, where students collect and bring in ten items of their choosing. Glue items to paper and hang around the room to show all the new ways to show ten. Use ones and tens blocks alongside this activity to introduce or reinforce mathematical connections.

I love Herve Tullet! This is a beautiful picture book that looks at different ways of counting to 10; this is not only good reinforcement but also helpful for my highly visual autistic daughter. It's also nice that it goes beyond a hundred, a thousand, etc as it comes to things like grains of sand, stars in the sky.

Miss 3 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

[Sandy Brehl · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is another of Tullet's interactive conceptual picture books, this time focused on the number concept of TEN. Multiple ways of visualizing, counting, one-to-one-correspondence, and transfer of concepts within a concept provide a fun experience beyond reading or counting. The use of shape, directionality, color, size, and relationships of images and objects on the page make it a value (and fun! Did i say FUN!) book for all preschool and very-early-school age audiences.

[Ashley Adkins · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very simple read for the youngster about numbers. Some fun illustrations as well. It was much longer than I was expecting.

[Diane Madlon-Kay · Rating 3 out of 5]

3 stars

[Robin · Rating 3 out of 5]

There are some gems in this one!

[Ash · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some counting sections were easier and some required some inferring to add to the skill level, and some were hard to understand.

[Kelly · Rating 5 out of 5]

A counting book that incorporates color identification, silliness, stories, and more

[Tina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hervé Tullet, we all know he's a bit of a nutter so I was expecting nothing but artsy epic things from this book, which I got. However I also got a bit on creation -.- which sadly can't be part of my school library :( So yeah FYI comes with a few creation pages!

[Andrew · Rating 1 out of 5]

My problem with this book is its needless lack of diversity. Hands, with Caucasian skin. Head, with Caucasian skin. Adam and Eve, Caucasian. Stick figures, Caucasian. Two princes and three princesses, all Caucasian. Six kind fairies, Caucasian. Nine kisses of true love, all heteronormative. Ten children, you guessed it, Caucasian. It would have been almost no effort to add even enough diversity to be representative of the population at large. And less effort than that is apparent. Disappointing.

Age: Preschool-2nd grade
Concept Skill: Counting

Tullet tackles counting to 10 in 10 different ways. Fun and repetitious without being tedious. This could have been confusing and overwrought but Tullet inserts his creative art and off-the-wall humor to maintain interest.

[Tracey · Rating 5 out of 5]

How do you count to 10? There are many ways to get to 10 in Herve Tullet's great counting book.

[Jennifer Heise · Rating 3 out of 5]

This charming book-- almost a chapter picture book -- shows a bunch of different ways to count to ten, including some silly ones (10 fingers on one hand? 3 noses). Fun to share with an early reader.

[Emily · Rating 4 out of 5]

This author does not disappoint. Great for young children.

[Jodie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This counting book is divided into 10 parts and shows 10 different pictures counting to 10. Crazy illustrations that will engage many readers.

[Niki · Rating 4 out of 5]

My son Sam loves this book!

[Mary · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fun and kind of bizarre (like most of Tullet's work), but the creation chapter was a big miss for me.

[Marcie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Weird but amazing. Loved the math and quirky counting. May be more for parents than the kids and I suspect there will be some objections to the creation chapter.

[Holly · Rating 2 out of 5]

Cute illustrations but a pain in the ass to read out loud.

[Nicole Reads Romance]

Usually love books by Tullet, but warning on this one: creationism reference.

[Debby Baumgartner · Rating 3 out of 5]

Counting with different items can be fun.
