Fish Eyes: A Book You Can Count On

As a children's librarian, I'm familiar with most quality picture books. Now that I'm a grandmother I find it's difficult finding good literature for babies, but this book is perfect. My grandson has been fascinated with it since I gave it to him at 4 months, and now he's 9 months, he keeps finding new ways to interact. The colors attracted him first, the text is just the right length so he doesn't lose interest (and it's well written), we can practice counting (and move on to the addition when he's older). Unlike some board books, I can hold it so the next page opens just enough for him to grab it and turn it himself. Now he's discovered he can poke his finger into the 'fish eye' holes, and I can touch it from the back of the page, or move my finger over the back of the holes so the fish seem to blink. This is a concept book on so many levels, and an activity book as well; it's never boring. I only wish there were more of this caliber.

Beautiful, bold, simple, fun illustrations. Eyes are cutout so are tactile for extra engagement and education. One star off because this is somewhat flimsy for a board book, for such a high quality author I expected a higher quality product.

very good art but loses the child's interest.

I love this storyVery well illustrated as wellThe pages are not as durable as they could be- they are engaging in the respect that the eyes are cut outs, but that makes them more fragile as wellI love the extensionsrecommend this

My daughter loves to look at the different fish on each page. This book taught her to count, the holes in the fish eyes gives children something to tangible touch when practicing to count each fish. Perfect!

Great counting book for preschoolers.

Such a cute book, by a great author. Fast shipping as well.

My daughter loved this wonderful counting book. It has bright colors and little kids live to stick their fingers where the fish eye is placated. We gave two as recent baby gifts.

Loved it. So cute, gorgeous illustrations.

Great colourful images of fish that provide children with the opportunity to visualize part-part-whole relationships in numbers. When you are exploring parts of a number with children, it's a good idea to use literature, concrete materials and lots of visual representation such as dot patterns. Understanding part-part-whole relationships is a foundation for working with addition and subtraction.

見開き2ページの絵がカラフルで楽しい。小学生が読むには　文法的に難しすぎるが　お話は単純なので読み聞かせればよいと思う。

I love this book and it is perfect for the Early Years maths lessons. Children love to hear the story. The pictures are clear and colourful.It arrived promptly and well-packed.
