Praise for previous titles in this series:
"The artwork is reminiscent of the lithographic method or of a negative image; the colorsare bold and, in some instances, nontraditional. The last two pages of each book list allof the landmarks or items in Spanish and in English. This series is recommended forpublic libraries and bookstores." —Críticas
“Kevin Somers’s bold, simple illustrations represent numbers one through ten usingfamiliar images. Author Puck explains the book’s contents [in English and Spanish],neatly sidestepping interborough rivalry.” —Time Out New York Kids
"Perfect for teaching your tiny Texan numbers (or explaining that there's more to Texasthan '80s Dallas reruns), the book is filled with modern illustrations in bright, bold colors
that introduce ten of the state's memorable symbols." —Daily Candy Dallas
"A new page-turner with baby-friendly drawings of local institutions (Coit Tower, theGiants) and flavors (crabs, grapes)." —Daily Candy San Francisco
