Response/Rating: 3; this is a great counting book! It has colorful artwork that keeps children engaged. I really enjoyed the fact that the little fish on every page would comment on certain ideas, like one plus one equals two. Neat way to sneak in some extra lessons!

One question you would ask before a read aloud: How high can you count?
