Babies introduce one cake, two dogs, three balls, and on to twelve apples. On board pages. This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is a great number book. I seem to have lost my copy - if I don't find it soon I'll have to get another one! Too bad this book is out of print - you may want to get it from a used-book merchant. The pictures of the babies are mesmerizing, and the objects they introduce are very relevant to babies and toddlers.

This has been a favorite of my 13month old daughter for several months now. The pictures in this book are so simple. One cake, two dogs, three balls, four chairs, five trucks, six blocks, seven dinosaurs, eight crayons, nine balloons, ten fingers, eleven hats, twelve apples. Each picture has a plain white background with the items surrounding a baby. The babies are all "normal" kids wearing cute outfits that could've been bought at WalMart; I like this realistic style. We made up motions/sounds for each page and now our daughter automatically does many of them. For example, when we get to the hat page I pat her head. Now she pats her head at other times when we are talking about hats! My only small complaint is I wish there were a bit more ethnic variety--10 of the 14 babies pictured are caucasian. I wish I could get my hands on all the Neil Ricklen books!
My nine month old could pick this book out of fifty books.

My nine month old has a stocked library in her room, but we could give all of those books away as long as we kept this one. She loves to look at the kids on every page. She talks to them and acts like she is reading. She plays with this book longer than any other possesion she has. We wish we could get our hands on all of the books by Neil Ricklen!!
