Each spread of double pages focuses on different kinds of animal tails, with interactive parts that kids can make move, flaps to open and some great detail in what the animals are getting up to. It also has great vocabulary, teaching animal names and also body parts, adjectives and verbs. It's a tactile book, with different textures to feel, and also has flaps and moving parts - unlike the pop-up books of my childhood, this one is very sturdy with very thick pages, so it looks like it will last longer under children's enthusiastic fingers! Ages 2-up.I saw this one in Chapters one day and had to get it - then I ordered one online and had it sent to my sister for my niece's second birthday. This classic ``less is more'' concept book features heavy stock and pages that fold out easily, making it well suited to tiny hands. Even more frolicsome are the book's final spreads-``You know us all, from one to ten- / Can you count us up again?'' The entire cast interacts amusingly on an accordion-style foldout the reverse side displays a magnificent zoological pyramid topped by (what else?) one yellow lion.
In Van Fleet's simple but playful renditions, the critters are unusually expressive, as ``eight brown bears'' nuzzle each other affectionately and some of the ``nine green alligators'' climb atop their pals while others nip at nearby tails. Aimed at the very young, This jaunty and ingenious paper-over-board counting book introduces ``one yellow lion,'' ``two white swans,'' ``three gray squirrels'' and so on, until readers finally meet ``ten pink worms.'' The first two words appear on the left side of each spread on the right is the numeral, a portion of which unexpectedly becomes part of the indicated creature(s) when the page is opened out.
