book cover

Book Description:
     The purpose of One! Two! Three! This Book 's for Me is to teach children of ages 2-5 to read and count by using picto-wordsTM: images located just below the text that help a child to guess the words. The book uses brightly colored pictures and lively lines with rhythm and rhyme, and it features a word/picture glossary.
     One! Two! Three! This Book 's for Me is designed to appeal to the child rather than the parent. It was toddler tested in day-care and preschool centers. Many children became quite excited when they realized that they could participate in the reading process. The text is all capitalized, which is best for kids who are just beginning to learn letters and words. With all of the above features, you can set your child on a path to early learning with One! Two! Three! This Book 's for Me.

Educational Aspects of the Book: Reviews:

James A. Cox of Midwest Book Review says
     "One! Two! Three! This Book's For Me! is a simple yet enjoyable counting picture book presenting the numbers 1 to 10, illustrated with simple, bold color pictures. A fine read-aloud rhyme text helps reinforce the concept of numbers in young people's minds. One! Two! Three! This Book's For Me! is especially recommended for children ages 2 to 5 and an excellent addition for family, day-care center, preschool, and kindergarten collections."

Selected as a "Best of 2002" Book by January Magazine:
     "I'm leery of children's books that purport to teach something. But in the case of One! Two! Three! This Book's For Me! the author actually succeeds."     - Pamela C. Patterson, January Magazine
