PS
Computer-enhanced photos of one boy with a teddy bear, two girls with bows in their hair, etc., illustrate this colorful but not particularly innovative counting book. Feminist-minded adult readers will notice that the boys are usually shown doing something active, like building with blocks, while the girls tend to hang around modeling clothing and accessories. Seek-and-find number searches on every page extend the book's usefulness.
