Children's ✦ Penny’s Take

Counting (My First Look At #12)

Jane Yorke (ed.) · DK · 1992
73/100
👍 Worth It

A 24-page DK board-style concept book from the My First Look At series — the clean-white-background photo style DK made famous, pointed at first numbers. It does exactly one job for exactly one audience and does it with DK's usual production polish. Out of print, but used copies run about six dollars, which is the right price for a toddler book that will be chewed. Worth it at that price; don't pay collector money.
