This book is starts with the number one and goes to the number twenty. Each page shows a number, a phrase, and a picture. All three things correlate with each other.

I like to watch the students counting the number of items on the page. In fact the students seem to enjoy counting the items as a

class.

I would ask the students what their favorite number is and we would discuss it as a class. Next I would ask them to come up with a phrase, for that number, and draw me a picture.

Summary: A beautifully illustrated book to help little ones learn to count from 1 to 20. The illustrations have a Victorian flair to them. The story rhymes. A mixture of animals and children are used in the illustrations as well as a mixture of black and white pictures and colored pictures.

Personal Reaction: I really enjoyed this book. It reminds me of books from when I was younger, despite my not being old enough to have been born when this originally was published. I thoroughly enjoy all the illustrations with their feminine styling. I also enjoy the text and how it rhymes. I do not think this is a good book to teach children to count with, however, per they can not count the items on the page. I also don't think it will keep the attention of our younger generation.

Classroom Extension Ideas: Counting! We can do a number every day. They can do all sorts of arts and crafts where they count out however many of something and paste it to the paper, color so many of items on a page, count so many toys, coins, cereal or candy pieces out and so forth.

On the even pages, the colors of the illustrations are black and white, whereas the odd number pages are colorful and very vivid. Tudor very successfully used several of the elements in her drawings. The movement that the book has, which is really unique and incredible from an adult’s

perspective, is that the art in this book changes from black and white to color with every flip of the page. The even numbers are in black and white and the odd numbers are in color. Tudor uses different colors on every page to make the reader wonder why each page is different every time you turn it.

This is a vintage style introduction book to numbers. I think kids would enjoy the pretty pictures and easy vocabulary of the text.

I is One is a good book for younger students. The pages of the book count from 1 to 20 with illustrated and detailed pictures to describe and help the student remember each number. The pages are easy to look at and would keep any young students interest.

This is one of the most beautiful illustrated books I've read. The images are soft and lovely. The reader feels like you are reading and falling into a soft, puffy bedspread of pastel colors. I enjoyed this book so much that I'm going to purchase a copy.

A 1957 Caldecott honor book, using the

numbers one - twenty, and alternating two-page spreads between black on one spread and then color on the next two page spread.

This is the first book I've read of Tasha Tudors delightful art work. I will be seeking more.

Aww... I just love Tudor's artwork.

This should be re-released as a book that is sturdy enough for a child to read over and over again. Lisa Vegan reports that there's a Board Book, but it's abridged - and I agree with her that all the numbers and pictures, all the way up to # 20, are valuable.

There are a lot of pink flowers in here, but my little sons would have enjoyed this nevertheless. Nature is beautiful, and even tomboys and Tonka fans can be raised to appreciate it - especially with help from books like this.

This is a book that uses rhymes and rhythm to teach counting. Full of beautiful illustrations although not culturally sensitive - it was published in the 1950's and is indicative of that time period, it is very simple and sweet.This is the board book version, it is abridged.
