One of this 30-page board book's many strengths is the unusually high level of interactivity it weaves into the early learning process. Every page contains colorful illustrations and characters that catch the eye and capture a child's imagination. The accompanying rhyming text is playful and brief. These short paragraphs are often embedded with information about objects on the page, bringing listening skills (or reading comprehension) into the mix. They typically end with a playful call to action - 'We can play a little game. Point to each color. Say its name.' - that conveys the feel of a fun little puzzle or riddle. The book's skillful blending of playful verbal and visual elements deeply engages kids and is easily adaptable to a variety of ages and learning levels, while the bite-sized nature of the one- and two-page groupings makes it easy for kids to take in. --Tillywig Brain Child Award Review

Excellent for helping toddlers and preschool children get a head start on learning words and numbers, "Colors, Shapes & Counting: A Point & Name Book of Rhymes" uses rhymes and colorful pictures to introduce young people to the words for colors, the concepts of shapes, and simple counting. "Hold up both hands, and count your fingers now. // We can count to ten. I will show you how." A great read-aloud resource that parents can share with their children, the better to improve their readiness for school! --Midwest Book Review
