For a born and bred New Yorker, 123 New York is a great choice. . . . we love the hip and bright pop art graphics . . . you'll enjoy talking about the colors and shapes with your child with this contemporary and spirited take on classic picture books. --Mamanista.com on 123 New York

We Texans are proud of our state and this board book helps babies learn early about the icons and symbols of which we are most proud. Great for keeping tiny Texans busy during a long road trip! -- Parent Wise: Austin

The artwork is reminiscent of the lithographic method or of a negative image; the colors are bold and, in some instances, nontraditional. The last two pages of each book list all of the landmarks or items in Spanish and in English ... 123 Texas contains images of astronauts, armadillos, and the Cadillac Ranch. This series is recommended for public libraries and bookstores. --Criticas These books are really colorful and fun. --The Examiner Perfect for teaching your tiny Texan numbers (or explaining that there's more to Texas than '80s Dallas reruns), the book is filled with modern illustrations in bright, bold colors that introduce ten of the state's memorable symbols. --Daily Candy Dallas We seldom delve into books for the small set, but your very littlest Texan probably needs 123 Texas, A Cool Counting Book. --The Dallas Morning News We Texans are proud of our state and this board book helps babies learn early about the icons and symbols of which we are most proud. Great for keeping tiny Texans busy during a long road trip! -- Parent Wise: Austin Every true Texas toddler needs this book this Christmas! -- Modern Baby & Children

The Cool Counting Books go to the Lone Star State, the numerical tour of which starts, of course, with one star. Each clean spread depicts the numeral in question and a corresponding number of objects to count: two longhorns, three basket-, foot- and baseballs, four astronauts (in an especially snazzy white-on-black spread) all the way up to cowboy hats. Thumbnails in the back identify the objects specifically, in both English and Spanish. (Non-Texans mystified by the eight cars sticking up out of the horizon line will be particularly grateful to understand that this represents Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo.) 123 Chicago (ISBN: 978-0-9796213-5-2) applies the same treatment to the Windy City, but with somewhat less success. (6-18 mos.) (Kirkus Reviews)
