This book appears to teacher numbers but I did not find this to be the case. Throughout the entire book the phrase "how many" appears without a clear indication of how many there really are. I did not think this would be helpful to a child learning their numbers if they didn't know how many should be there. After analyzing the book, I realized a little movable wheel that turns with a picture matching one of the pages in the book. On this wheel a number was shown. This is the answer to "how many" on each page. I found this to be a confusing book and would not recommend this to the beginning number learner. This book may prove useful to one who is knows how to count well and is in need of a challenge and reinforcement.
