Customer Reviews

My son likes to count now!

My son is a little slow on the counting uptake and this book made it fun and interesting enough for him to _want_ to do it! Thanks!

Learning to read and count at the same time in one book for one boy

This was an amazing book. I am teaching my grand son to read/count and learn English all in one book. Pictures are very good, all very memorable. Peek-a-boo aspect of the book appeals to the children. It is a real page turner for young children. Highly recommended.

The awesomest book I've read

One Boy is a good book because you can guess what comes next. And everything is outlined with a box and then the whole picture on the next page. And they go in numerical order with really detailed pictures. All the pitchers have outlines on the outside. And there is a boy that paints all the pictures.

One Boy

One Boy is a great book for children and adults of all ages. One Boy is very simple but the way the illustrations are put down looks great. For example, for the number one it says one boy and when you turn the page it says all alone and the picture extends. Most of the pictures are animals. I would definitely recommend this book to children and adults.

Fun, creative, a True Delight!

Our two and half year old loves this book and it's been a favorite of my wife an I too. Each page has a clever cutout over the picture, which when turned reveals some fanciful addition to what the subject is. Example: 3 Apes, (you see their heads mostly) then turns to Big Escape, in which you see they happily got out of their cage. Each picture and number up to ten goes like this and all are quite fun for everyone. Beautiful production and printing quality too.
