UK Kirkus review

This cleverly constructed baby animal counting book gives practice in identifying the numbers from one to ten and in naming mothers and babies, from cats and kittens to kangaroos and joeys. The colourful and heart-warming illustrations will delight young readers as they are transported all around the world to find families together in every kind of weather. Rhyming text with lovely onomatopoeic sounds extends the action word vocabulary and provides plenty of scope for reader participation. Long after the counting aspect has become familiar this book will continue to provide a rich source of discovery and delight for parent and child. Ages 2-4 (Kirkus UK)
