Over the Farm By Christopher Gunson

Usually when I think about counting books I think about little board books that young children can chew on and quite frankly I think many of those books are boring. This book is a paperback so it is geared toward children who are a little older and no babies. I really liked the illustrations because each of them looked like a painting, There was visible paint strokes and color mixing in the pictures. I really enjoy seeing details like this because we can see the illustrator's process. We can see the paint they used and how they moved their brush. The book is about counting animals so in addition to counting they are learning about different animals. This book seems simple and straightforward and it is but that is works for kindergartners, they don't need some great literary piece they just need a book that is educational as well as entertaining.
