Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Counting Bears
Judy Nayer · 2025
68/100
👎 Skip It
A gentle little counting book with a hide-and-seek twist that will charm toddlers, but there is almost nothing here beyond the numbers themselves. The repetitive structure is a feature for emergent readers, not a limitation, but the near-total absence of narrative or critical reception keeps it squarely in supplemental territory. Fine as a digital library pickup, not a purchase.
