Great aid to learning to count

I am sorry to see that this book is not available in hardback, for it is the best counting book I have ever come across. It goes MUCH beyond the normal counting books in effectiveness.For starters, each page has a "textured" numeral for the child to trace with his finger, with visual guides to help separate the strokes. (If this sounds technical, it isn't, at least in the way it is presented to the child.)The other neat thing is that each page presents SEVERAL items to count, and some are placed in slightly unexpected places, adding a simple search game that helps to hold a young child's attention. (For example, on the number-four page, the reader is to find four gulls, four dolphins, and four towels. Now, three towels are hanging neatly on towel rings, but where is the fourth? A little boy in the illustration is wearing it!)And of course, another nice thing about this book is that it does go all the way to one hundred, counting by tens. My sister reported that this book was the finishing touch in getting her daughter to be able to master the concept that when one counts to twenty-nine, the thirties come next, then the forties, etc. My own daughter hasn't quite made that leap yet, but now that I'm ordering our very own paperback rather than having to make do with the copy at the library, maybe there is still hope!
