This book is awesome! Its perfect for little kids learning their numbers. The book is well illustrated, the prompts are really great and engaging and its just overall awesome to read through. Along with the alphabet book, Alphabet of Alphabets, the kids will be engaged in numbers and letters for a good while. I would easily recommend and gift this book to family and friends! So good!

I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a copy.

So much fun! This combination of a seek and find and counting book will keep kids entertained for hours.

A search and find book combined with a counting book. Although I would not use this book to teach my students, it would be a unique addition to my classroom library. Children love search and find books and this book can be used with beginning readers to help them count too. Can you find all the hidden objects on each spread?

We are spoiled—first An Alphabet of Alphabets and now a numbers book! Counting has never been more fun (and secretly educational). A wonderfully immersive numbers celebration calculated to add to your little one’s numberstanding!

Each page represents a number and has items on that page representing that number, and it goes 1-20, then 50, then 100! A very fun counting and search and find book. You will get lots of reading and counting time out of this book.

I received an electronic ARC from Quarto Publishing Group – Wide Eyed Editions through NetGalley.
Wood challenges readers to seek and find the items on each page that correspond to the number given. Readers have to use a variety of processing skills to identify the objects and do the math. Then at the end more challenges are offered so readers can go back through the book again. The illustrations are highly detailed and fun to study beyond searching for the objects.
A terrific family challenge or for an elementary level reader to do on their own.

'A Number of Numbers' is a wonderful, imaginative number book! Each page features a new number, whimsical theme, and tons of items to search for. It takes a while to read through this book as it is so interactive. I love how much deeper this book goes than a typical, simple counting picture book. I would recommend this book for preschool through early elementary school.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

This was a great interactive hide and seek book that teaches numbers to young readers. It's a lot of fun looking for the hidden pictures and counting different items. This could provide hours of entertainment for little ones.
Many thanks to Quarto Publishing Group – Wide Eyed Editions and NetGalley for the advance copy.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read and review.

This book is just too much fun! Adorable search and find pictures guided by the numbers 1 - 20, and extra pages for 50 and 100. Each page is of a different scene (ski hill, construction site, farm) and there is a sequential list of items to find as you look through the pages. I cannot wait to get a copy for myself....I mean, for my students.

A Number of Numbers follows in the tradition of I Spy and Where's Waldo, with charming illustrations drawn by Allan Sanders. The reader is invited to find a variety of number-based images on each page, with even more searchable items listed in the back of the book. Although slightly less innovative than it's partner, An Alphabet of Alphabets, this little book is jampacked full of fun, and is sure to be a lovely addition to any child's library.

Head's up for grownups: the two page is Noah's Ark based.. There is nothing overtly Christian, but if you prefer your books without any Biblical references,

Thank you to Wide Eyed Editions and NetGalley for the ARC!

A Number of Numbers is as fun and cute as its partner book, An Alphabet of Alphabets. Like the letter version, this picture book offers pages of Where's Waldo/I Spy style games through detailed, cute illustrations, connected in clever ways to the numbers 1-20, plus 50 and 100, such as five = five fingers on a hand = a glove-themed illustration, or eight = an octopus's eight legs = an ocean-themed spread.

The whole book is engaging, entertaining, and educational, and sure to be fun for young readers learning their numbers!

Thank you to NetGalley and Wide Eyed Editions for the advance review copy!

I read a digital ARC from Netgalley and had some technical difficulty as the pdf wouldn't open in Adobe Digital Editions and the Netgalley app version cuts pictures in half rather awkwardly. The book is funny and educational for children who are learning to count and name and systematically search for things but I would definitely buy the .printed version instead of digital ones. Some Where's Waldo type searching books are crammed full of a thousand tiny details on every page but the illustrations in this one are rather more sparsely decorated and most things are easy to find, at least for an adult. The numbering skips from 20 to 50 and then to 100; I would have liked to see pages for 30, 40, 60 and so on as well.

This is an entertainingly and brightly illustrated search and find book. There are objects for each number in the highly detailed drawings and also some extra puzzles along the way. As an example, for number 7, kids are asked to find 7 different dogs and their pups and then 7 balls, bowls, bones and 1 hot dog! Number 9 has all kinds of things we wear and then the mouse asks kids to find his underwear. This is typical of the title’s humor.

The book is inviting and is a great way to learn numbers and to practice visual skills while searching for the objects mentioned. I highly recommend it. Five stars for its intended audience and adults will enjoy it too.

Now this looked to be thoroughly successful. I can't prove it can teach you to count, because I learnt some time ago, and I don't have a young human to borrow for scientific purposes, but my guess is this should be a hit. Starting with a simple instance of an image with lots of 'ones' in it – a monocle, a unicycle etc – we go through the numbers up to twenty, busily increasing complexity until we have a heck of a lot of things to spot, and therefore a heck of a lot of counting up to do. We then leap to fifty, with the map of the US reduced to the state abbreviations, and then one final diorama with something to count a hundred of. Sometimes things are a little too simplified – in a large image of a farm we see all the carrots we have to tot up in the same patch, and likewise the child using this book on their own will like as not point to all the choristers and say 'found them' rather than practise their numeracy, but that aside this suitably presents a lot of revision of our numbers. Here's hoping an uncountable number of libraries and schools manage to keep their copies with nothing circled, ticked off or otherwise marked up.
