Review
The rhymes here are cute (except cat eleven gets left out of getting one) but the illustrations are what charmed me. Big cats, small cats, kittens, white cats, striped cats, and Siamese – they’re all charming and big enough on the page for children learning to count to easily see them all as they practice their numbers. Cat lovers will adore looking at them sleeping, playing, stretching and jumping. B
