From School Library Journal:
Grade 1-3-- A diverting set of rhymed couplets invites children to participate in a counting puzzle. Progressing through a series of gardens, viewers are challenged to discover all of the objects of a given type. The first garden contains one of each; the number of objects increases by one in each succeeding garden until ten must be found. Not content to have readers look for just one set of hidden items, the artist expands the search by cunningly concealing additional animate and inanimate objects within each garden. The precisely drawn illustrations are stylized depictions of colorful, exotic gardens full of absorbing detail. Some are reminiscent of medieval gardens with wattle fences, topiary trees, and crenelated towers; others have a distinct Eastern atmosphere. The book is a stimulating exercise in observational skills, ideal for primary-grade children or for adults to share with younger children. The satisfaction gained with each new discovery is well worth the effort--and, while difficult, it's fun. --Phyllis G. Sidorsky, National Cathedral School, Washington, DC
