Reviews

Hoban brings us another dazzling picture book. This time she revisits the counting-concept form, enumerating objects from 1 to 15, then from 20 to 50 in tens, ending with 100. Her photos range from the simple--1 hen, 8 Dalmatian puppies--to the more sophisticated--6 twirling rings on the arms of a circus performer; 12 rolls of toilet paper, unpacked and stored on a pantry shelf; 20 mannequin heads, all sporting hats and sunglasses. There are 30 cookies, 50 brown eggs, and 100 spools of thread arranged in the order of the colors of the rainbow. Hoban's talent for taking everyday things and gloriously capturing them in her photos is what makes her books amazing; the pictures here appeal to all the senses and are at once accessible to children and an aesthetic pleasure for adults.
