Magic Monkey: A Fun Book of Numbers (Fun Books of Learning)

PreSchool-Grade 1-- These didactic efforts are not up to the standard oe, a baby kangaroo who hides in his mother's pouch until she insists he is old enough to jump. He doesn't want to, and tries to find another family, but is eventually satisfied with his own. Linda's Late shows a toddler trying keep up with her day at home and preschool. One page of each spread shows what she is doing at the hour shown on the clock on the facing page. Each clock is different, which could be confusing to the intended audience. Magic Monkey is a toy who comes to life when his owners are away. He spends each double-page spread counting toys that happen to be presented sequentially, 1-10. The illustrations are adequate but not distinguished. Libraries already own many books that better accomplish what these titles attempt. --Dorcas Hand, Annunciation Orthodox Sch . , Houston
