The illustrations are nice, though I don't really get why every other page is in b&w (was the original only in b&w and we're paying homage? or a stylistic choice?). The things they're counting are definitely things my little guy is interested in, but it went on a little too long to keep his interest.

Rhyming counting book (1-20) showing the number and the number spelled out. Beautiful Victorian illustrations. Tudor seems to really love birds.

Beautiful illustrations. Counts from 1 to 20. A little dated, but still a lovely book.

A Caldecott Honor counting book. Sure it's nice, but there are better counting books. It is showing its age but not really in a bad way. The subjects of the art still work. And the choices for the art are pretty and not trite. But they are also not especially exciting or engaging. And the text is only okay.

This is a classic children's book that I personally don't recall, but it is possible that I read it as a child. beautifully illustrated and presented in a very old style, this introduces the very young person to the idea of numbers.
Let's face it numbers are something that is not an automatic principle to grasp, even though it does become second nature, and this does a great job in a very simple way too introduce numbers,
Good old classic book.

This is a sweet children’s rhyming story counting 1 to 20. Each page is a delicate work of art in my mind. Sadly, all the pages are not in color. It is only every other one. I love seeing the swallows flying in the sky or eggs in a nest. It is simple and I was moved by the beauty of the pages.
The children were not as moved by the beautiful art as I was. The youngest thought it was rather boring. He liked the animals and gave it 3 stars. The niece thought it was pretty and it was to baby for her. She has been able to count for years now. So, she gave it 2 stars. I would say it’s for younger children or anyone that appreciates art.
I like Tasha and her eye for nature.

Beautifully illustrated in Tudor's beloved anachronistic style, with sweet rhymes that make counting fun.
