This was a fantastic book that I randomly requested from the library because my daughter demanded more cat books.
It's a "We Both Read" book, meaning that the pages on the left have story, and the pages on the right have one or two words with a picture.
The story is a pretty hokey one about a girl who wants a cat and dreams that she gets ten instead, each a different colour. It means that it's teaching kids to sight-read colours and numbers instead of learn phonetically, which is okay. You kind of have to learn both ways, because some of those numbers are impossible to sound out phonetically.
This book was a real hit. Before I give it back, I think I'm going to photocopy some pages and cut them up for a mix-and-match activity with my daughter.
