Review:

I actually purchased this book for our pre-school! It is a cute number book for younger children. I really enjoyed the playful colors and the new approach to the traditional number books. Kids love cute monsters right now (I was thinking of ugly dolls while I read this book). I believe any child would like the look of this number book!

Review: 

I enjoyed this little book! It will be a perfect addition to any classroom or home library. The colorful illustrations and simple  message will be enjoyed by children. It discusses how to make the world a better place, in little ways. It gives children simple ideas that they can do to help the earth, and how to treat one another. I plan on reading this story to my first graders for their unit on recycling. With the colorful presentation and fun rhyme they will all love to learn from this great book.
