Horn Book Review

The four books in this poorly designed series introduce the titular concepts on crowded double-page spreads. Questions on each page encourage interaction: "What can you see on the tile? How many cakes can you count?" But the answers aren't always clear, and many of the objects, while mostly familiar, aren't easily identified as presented. The vibrant color backgrounds of the pages add to the visual overload. [Review covers these titles: [cf2]Colors, Numbers, Shapes, Sizes[cf1].] From HORN BOOK Fall 2002, (c) Copyright 2010.
