- "Contrary to what the title says, this is more than just a counting book. This book illustrated other numerical principles such as number bonds and addition through counting the feet of different living things. One of the best qualities of this book is that it includes numbers greater than ten."
-Practical Preschool, October 2003
- "This should appeal to many age groups the very young for the visual delight, through those just learning to count to ten, to those on to multiplication."
-Philippa Logan, The Oxford Times
