A book about numbers and fruit. Pretty advanced for a toddler book. Mx was 4 before really got the hang of this. Mx just likes to look at pics.

This board book, designed for young readers, allows children to match number squares with the same quantity of fruit. With the pages divided in the center, readers can choose any number on the top half of the page and then find the corresponding picture of fruit on the bottom half of the page. Children will have fun matching numbers with the various colorfully illustrated fruits. ( )

My Very First Book of Numbers, by Eric Carle, is an educational read for toddlers and preschoolers. The book offers colorful illustrations which helps the reader follow along and count the objects. Aside from counting/math skills, the fruit illustrations on each page offer an increase in vocabulary as well as recognition of these objects. It is a fun interactive read for both the child and the adult participating. ( )

This is a very interactive book, with bright colorful illustrations. Encourages movement through pages and offers practice in basic number skills. I think this is appropriate for young toddlers to grow with as they learn and practice numbers.

Do you think that this format could be confusing for some young readers?
Do you think that the use of fruit as the counting objects adds to the reader's reading comprehension and vocabulary development?
Do you think that the author (Eric Carle) would influence readers to read this book, instead of other and better examples of number books? ( )
