Customer Reviews

Girls like it too

Guess what? My 17 month old daughter loves Start Your Engines as much as the boys do. She has something that she does for each page (i.e. when "five foxes test the shocks" she bounces up and down; and when "four flamingoes fix a flat" she says "UH OH!!"). It's a great book with which to interact.

One for the boys

My young nephews love - love! - this book. It reminds me of the Richard Scarry books that I was into as a kid. This is a numbers book--perhaps Mark Todd will do a storybook next time. After all, his audience are getting older every day!

Awesome

This book rocks! The illustration is wonderful. Super fun to read, and easy for kids of all ages to relate to.You can look at the pictures over and over and still see something new each time. Its the kind of book you want to keep for your whole life, and look back to fondly when you're an adult. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

A Numeric Rainbow

Mark Todd once again delivers a wonderfully colorful book. He makes counting down exciting with a plethora of lively pictures. A good buy for anyone learning to count or who likes numbers.

A colorful way for children to learn to count!

I teach a kindergarten class, and keeping children interested in learning numbers is not easy. This book, given to me by a friend, made the children (especially the boys) sit up and pay attention. Some of the mothers would like copies too! I recommend this book, not only as a teaching tool, but because it is beautifully and colorfully illustrated!
