This small and attractive board book attempts to present young children with an understanding of basic numberals (1-10). Each page depicts a different number by using illustrations and asking the reader to count the number of items present. For example, the number "3" is represented with three butterflies. The uniqueness of this book lies in in a turnable "wheel" flap that provides the answer to each page. To use the previous example, a child can turn the flap until he or she finds the picture of the butterfly; this picture will have the number "3" next to it. The drawback is that most young children probably won't understand the concept of the book at first, at least not without some guidance from an older person. The rotating flap, although sturdy, appears to be prone to damage if the book were to be heavily circulated in a public library. It is therefore recommended for single families with children ages 2-5.
