Ten in Bed gets 4.5 Stars {board book, concept}

Onomatopoeias. Counting concept book.  Repetitious phrases. Cute animals.  

Ten in Bed by Gill Guile has all of that as well as super cute pictures and a fun board book with a not necessary but fun window, and the last couple pages that lend well to asking a couple predicting questions.  

This is a cute board book, and it would be perfect for 1-4 year olds.  I give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars in my book review.  I liked the illustrations and color scheme; they bode well for a toddler bedtime book with the cute calming colors.  I love books with repetition, and this book has repetition on almost every page with the same phrases and events repeating.  Repetitious phrases are perfect for this age.  I like this simple math counting concept book.  Concept books are simple yet valuable for this age group.  

I felt the onomatopoeias in the book, aka the sound words, each and every animal makes when they fall out of bed could've been better.  Some of the animals sounds just didn't flow or seemed awkward.

Amazon had the following short and simple book description.  Did you ever sing this song? 

"There were ten in the bed, and the little one said, "Roll over! Roll over!" So they all rolled over and one fell out! Based on the popular song, ten cute and cuddly stuffed animals OINK!, MEOW!, and QUACK! their way off the bed in this lighthearted romp."

I love math, introducing a math concept book to my little toddlers just warms my nerdy heart.  Do you read many concept books?  Concept books are books that teach a concept like alphabet, math, shapes, and colors are just a few of the many various concept books.

Definitely go check out this fun book if you have a toddler or preschooler.   

Happy Counting Concept Board Book Reading!
