This is an interesting idea for a counting picture book... although I think it maybe misses the mark for its audience a little. If your "little one" really cares about old artists, more power to them. But I think that aspect of the book is really going to be more for the parents. (The little blurbs at the back about each artist are supposedly written for kids, but I doubt children who are just learning their numbers are going to understand words and terms like "trademark", "tongue-in-cheek", "contrast", "posse", "painstaking", and "impression".)

As an adult, I appreciated seeing the different art styles, even as I question how accurate they are. I've seen the work of a few of these artists, and some of these imitations don't look quite right. I'd be tempted to show the child some real examples of the artists' work... but then, only if they were old enough to appreciate it. If they're still at the stage where they're using counting books to learn their numbers, I doubt they would be.

Beautiful illustrations. Excellent use of color. This will engage children of the targeted age range and help them familiarize themselves with numbers at the same time. Recommend!

This is beautifully illustrated, featuring sets of animals from 1 to 10, each in a different artist's style. The animals and artist names are alliterative, such as Picasso's Panda and Lichtenstein's Llamas. This would be a wonderful introduction to art styles and art history, and to use as inspiration or animal illustrations for elementary art classes. It also includes a short "Gallery of Artists" that gives a short biographical blurb about each artist and their style.
