[.ca] One To Ten Pop-Up Surprises! (ISBN 0671899082)

From Amazon.com:
Creator and engineer of the elegant Color Surprises and Black Cat, White Cat: A Pop-Up Book of Opposites, Chuck Murphy has also crafted an amazingly simple yet beautiful counting book, One to Ten: Pop-Up Surprises! This counting book doesn't mess around with fancy rhymes or cutesy sheep--open the first spread and you'll see a bold, fat number one--white on black--right next to a bold black number two on a white page. Pull the number one down, and one tropical spotted frog swims off the page! Lift and turn the number two to the right, and two toucans pop out from a leafy nest. Three colorful beetles crawl out of the number three with the slide of a tab. You get the idea--Murphy's almost breathtaking pop-up surprises take readers all the way to the number ten. Pop-up book collectors and budding bean counters alike will revel in this instructive, interactive masterpiece. (Ages 4 and older) --Karin Snelson

incredible and appealing to babies and up:
My son has loved these since he was about 8 mo, and now he is a pre-schooler. Well, as with all pop-ups, I always supervise, but this series has fairly simple engineering, so an over enthusisastic tug or rip is fairly easy to cellotape. Our four books have lots of tape, but they still work after three years of frequent use. The pop-ups and presentation are so appealing, you will never regret this purchase. An absolute classic for your childs library.

Mind Ticklers for Children as Well as Adults:
Chuck Murphy's creative way to stimulate and educate a child. The book consists of 10 colorful pop-ups which encourage children to ask questions about the things they are seeing in the pop-ups as well as to count. Our two young boys, ages 2 and 4, take these books everywhere with them. During long automobile voyages or flights each book keeps the child's mind entertained for at least 30 minutes but not more than 1 hour and 20 minutes during any given trip. We have already purchased the above book three times since it has sustained a lot of wear and tear from the mountains to the beaches. Chuck Murphy's books are tops with our kids.

He loves it!:
I rated this book a four simply because I do not think it will last the wear and tear of a growing child. My son, who is now 14 months, loves it and desires deeply to explore each of the pop-ups, which would mean an end to their lives! I do however, have a problem with the number 10 as it is hard for my son to see it among all the children.

Bought it 2 times:
My son is visually impaired and just loves this book. He actually learned how to crawl by his father and i sitting at opposite ends of the room and "reading" the book. He would crawl between us. I could get him to stop anything he was doing and crawl to the book. Then he wants you to read and read and read it. We read it so much in his first year, we had to buy it again. Yes it is not durable, but I don't think there is much to be done about that.

A CLEVER COUNTING BOOK WITH AN EYEFUL OF COLORFUL SURPRISES!:
ONE TO TEN, POP-UP SURPRISES! you must see to believe. A gift to my daughter, I thought it was going to be just another boring number book, but I was wrong--this is SPECTACULAR! I won't give away the surprises inside, but just to let you know, they are top-knotch, vivid graphics of objects that you and your child will LOVE! The artist should have won an award for the illustrations/graphic design of this book! And as a bonus, this book is small and easily portable to Grandmother's house. I can not remember coming across another number book of this quality nor could I even imagine it! Perfect for young children past the "I like ripping books better than looking at/reading them stage." If this book doesn't encourage counting--NOTHING WILL! ONE TO TEN POP UP SURPRISES! might possibly be a key for 'soaring' into math, you never can tell. In any case, it should have a guarantee that it will make counting fun, or your money back! (No one would want their money back!) Books should be FUN and this one IS! My highest rating. Soaring Heart
