“I liked that in this book, rather than counting straight from one to ten, kids get to wander around the numbers a little bit, making it good for ever-so-slightly more advanced counting practice. However, I didn't like the nonsensical storyline, potty humor, or bad examples of behavior that went unaddressed. It's a hard pass for me.”
