An interesting counting book with the additional feature of a more complex lesson on multiplication and division. The illustrations are delightful, with individual expressions and personality for each duck. The text is a little stiff, however, and has some grammatical problems. Younger children would enjoy it as well, but older children would more likely understand the math.
