"Should numbers or letters be lacking from your picture book library, however, here are a couple of Christmas essentials. Jackie Morris's One Cheetah, One Cherry: A Book of Beautiful Numbers is a particularly decorative counting book, and I especially approve of her 'four fine foxes, sharing strawberries' - balancing large fruits on the tips of their noses."

-- Kate Kellaway * Observer *
