Elmer's First Counting Book Board book – January 1, 2012

My two-year-old son adores Elmer, the patchwork elephant, so as we work with him on counting, I decided to get this book. This is part of a subseries of the Elmer books that focuses on simple topics for younger children (numbers, colors, weather, etc). While I think some of the other books are good, I wouldn't recommend this one. There is neither a story nor clever language to engage, just the numbers and images. I bought How Do Dinosaurs Count to 10 at the same time, and think that is a far better books. There's better artwork and the language rhymes, while continuing to focus on numbers. While normally an Elmer fanatic, even our son isn't too interested in this book.

Everything about the Elmer books is cute and right on as far as educational are concerned!

Our 18 month old loves Elmer and is learning how to count. I wish Elmer was in more of the pages, but all in all cute book and beautifully illustrated.

This is a very basic counting (1 to 10) book and Elmer and his friends are featured. It would be fun to sit down with a little child and count the animals. As always, David McKee's Elmer book is delightful!

Love Elmer and his stories! Am planning on buying the whole series for my granddaughter!

My daughter loves Elmer! Educational and fun!

Perfect

Bought this as a gift for my one year old Grandson. Looking forward to reading it with him.

Classic Elmer book ..... The only down side,I wish the numbers were illustrated in a bigger format.

Sturdy book and ideal for small children. Bright colours

Really great pictures!

Lovely!
