Customer Reviews

Wonderful!

What a fantastic book series. My husband and I bought this book (as well as Shapes and Alphabet, also by Little Scholastic), and my son is completely enthralled with them. We read them daily, by his choice. The books are short, with colorful pictures and easy to point to and identify numbers on the pages (or shapes, letters). Some of the books have textural differences to make it more interesting for your toddler to feel the page and interact with it. These have been our favorite "educational" books for our little boy and we would highly recommend them!

Great for Tactile Learners

The Scholastic Hands on Learning series is great for tactile learners. My toddler was evaluated as either on target or ahead on everything except verbal - he did not want to talk. His hearing was fine and there's no history of ear infections so hearing interference was ruled out as a factor. So, he began regular visits with a state intervention program to help him develop communication skills and everything we tried did not work. My mom bought him two boxes of flash cards from this series for Christmas. At first, he showed little interest. However, I kept trying. And it wasn't long before he started showing interest in the cards - particularly the ones he recognized as objects he encountered on a regular basis (ball, wagon, cat, dog, boy, orange, girl, etc.) Aside from teaching numbers, as this particular title on the product indicates, the cards are made so that the pictures of common things a child might encounter in his/her world. They are inlaid with various textures that go along with the product being pictured. My son is a tactile learner - so when he could pick up the card, feel of it, and hear us repeat to him what the picture represented, he soon began naming the picture card himself. Once that started, he has now moved on to real, 3 dimensional around-the-house products - either pointing them out or bringing them to me or other family members to inquire what they are - and only after a couple of times of naming the object, he will add the word to his vocabulary. I highly recommend this product as well as the other products in this series (as you can imagine, we have all of them now). They helped us open up a whole new world for my toddler.

Love these cards

These cards are so educational. My daughter got her first set for her 1st birthday and just loved them. She is now 20mths old and has the whole set/series. She still loves them and asks us to play with them with her all the time. They are great for road trips and even on long shopping trips. They are so worth the money....I would even buy if they were more xpensive they are so worth the money.

French numbers review

This book is an English translation of a French title for small children. The book, in effect, counts the numbers one through nine. The pages are well-paced, with one page for each number. The child is also encouraged to identify any visual objects in the book which he may know. The book is a good and colorful introduction to the first nine numbers.
