Reviews

The subtitle of this muddled work is at best two-thirds correct. It is inarguably a counting book (albeit a less than distinctive entry in this jam-packed field); and the illustrations are indeed riotous?generally too much so, as overcrowded pages and awkward compositions obscure the book's purported aim. Rhyme, however, is almost entirely absent, the sole apparent example being the pairing of "bats" and "cats" (unless "cut" and "chocolate" strike the fancy of the poetically impaired). The book's format: Sharon halts a "numerical" scene ("Two tired twins asleep in a carriage"; "Three busy barbers snipping beards") with a disruptive exclamation (for the preceding, "Wake up!" and "Cut!"), whereupon the irritated characters pursue the girl across the bottom of the spreads. And about that title: Will parents really want their little ones to emulate a hollering heroine? Ages 2-5.
