Reviews and Reader Comments
Arithmetic Teacher
"The illustrations are particularly effective in showing sets of two. As the story progresses, the feet of the family members are usually shown sticking through the slats at the end of the bed, inviting young readers to count by twos."
Hazel Rochman
"A relaxed counting book with brightly colored, bouncy, cartoon-style illustrations has fun with the feet of a family that come and go in the parents’ bed in the morning. First, we see Dad's two feet. When the little girl somersaults into the bed, there are four feet. The toddler snuggles in, mom brings the baby, and there are 10 feet in the bed. Then, two by two, they leave to start the day. Lots of white space, lots of smiles and gentle family slapstick, lots of feet."
