Counting to 25 sets this apart from most picture-book rivals, and the bilingual English-French edition is a genuine plus for multilingual families. The Trafford self-publishing context and total absence of critical reviews mean quality is uncertain, but the cheerful concept is hard to mess up. A reasonable free-or-cheap library find, but not one to hunt down.
