As with the companion book I read yesterday, Slide and Seek Alphabet, this book is more a toy than a reading experience with a child encouraged to count by getting to open and close little sliding doors built into the book. Unfortunately, the numbers escalate too quickly and many little ones will probably have problems finding and counting all 19 (!) apples scattered about the illustration.
