Counting can be really fun with these silly bees. They get into all kinds of mischief floating in a lily pond and exploring the shore. Colorful, animated illustrations will entice any child into counting! Rated: 5 Stars

Lisa DAngelo -- Book Review Cafe

This book has wonderful pictures, which lead children into becoming involved with counting. The best part though, is the fact that it is done in rhyme -- it is my experience that children remember a rhyming story better and it encourages the love of poetry and early reading.

The illustrations are very detailed and eye catching. The bees are adorable! The verse is pleasant. I think little ones will enjoy this book on their own as well as reading with their favorite brown up. I really enjoyed it!

The illustrations are just adorable. I have read it to a couple of interested young ones and they love the simplicity and the soft colors.
