From Kirkus Reviews:

A counting book that is truly geared toward children and their love of animals. Decked out in a festively garish dress of orange, green, and yellow, a red-haired girl with a red nose cuddles up to a variety of animals. In the first spread, she lies on her stomach on top of an elephant; the numeral 1 appears with the words ``One Elephant,'' while, in a split-screen effect, a long strip at the bottom shows the animal with a blanket from the child. This gift and others--cherries for two toucans; balls for three polar bears, etc.--all match her dress or are made from the same material. Meanwhile, the cloth of her dress incorporates the numbers represented. She plays, romps, slides, and rides the animals, who are uniformly loving. A spread shows them all together in a fantasy habitat. Simple, sturdy, and well- conceived, this book gives children many opportunities to think about numbers and to practice counting.
