Set in Israel, the simple text of this counting book highlights locations (such as Masada, Tel Aviv, Eilat, and the Western Wall) to teach numbers one through ten. All of the cheerful, brightly-colored illustrations, ending with ten multicultural youngsters dancing the hora, are easy to count, and the small trim size (6 ½” x 6 ½”) is perfect for little hands.
Recommended for ages 1 – 4.
