From School Library Journal

PreSchool-K-An engaging counting book. Joe enjoys plunging into his backyard pool on a very hot day. It is a perfect oasis for "ONE," but it is not long before he is joined by a variety of friends and neighbors. Even when he finally yells that there just is not enough room for "TEN," no one hears him. When the ice-cream truck comes jingling down the street, however, everyone jumps out, and Joe, smiling with relief, says, "This pool is perfect for me!" Childlike gouache paintings capture viewers' immediate attention with their brightness and exuberance. As each person joins the boy in the water, the appropriate large numeral appears at the top of the right-hand side of the double-page spread. A fun, lively way to introduce the numbers from 1 to 10.

From Booklist

Ages 3-5. The heat doesn't bother Joe, who has a new wading pool all to himself. He's not alone for long, however, before another child and an assortment of grown-ups--including a delivery man, a teacher, and neighbors--jump in. The vivid gouache pictures, with figures outlined in white, fill up the pages as the pool's population increases. In the end, the ice-cream man's arrival empties the pool. Although this story does have a counting motif (a large numeral in the upper right-hand corner of each double-page spread changes as the pool fills), children will be laughing at the farcical situation rather than counting the people in the pool.
