43. Board book: Let's Count to Ten: Animals. Priddy Books. 16 pages. [Source: Library] [4 stars, counting book]
First sentence: Camel likes the desert hot. How many humps has he got?
Premise/plot: Let's Count to Ten: Animals is a concept book, a counting book. There are flaps to lift on each page and/or each spread. These are numbered flap that "help" you count. For example, "Colorful parrot squawks and sings. Can you count her feathery wings?" or "Foxes scamper around at night. Count them playing in the moonlight. One doesn't *need* to lift the flaps to count and find the answer. But you could if you wanted. By the last spread, you are counting one to ten.
The book also asks you to follow directions and follow the arrow to "count" in a certain order.
My thoughts: I thought this one was fun. I enjoyed the illustrations. I am undecided on if the flaps are necessary. BUT there is certainly nothing wrong with lifting the flap to count. I found my natural counting order and the "follow the arrow" order were different.
