There are far too many words in this book. This is because this book is extremely repetitive. It feels as if the author took an online course on how to write a formulaic picture book. State your problem. Give examples of the problem.  Give a solution. Repeat the solution with a nonmonic device that kids can remember. End story. This book skips the pneumonic device and gives you a lesson in counting. The lesson is nice, but it takes so long to get there that most kids are past caring, let alone paying attention.
