From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K-Through pedestrian, rhymed text, Samuel encourages children to count items from 1 to 10. There is editorializing throughout, beginning with page one: "This book is fun!" Various words are colored within the text without a logical explanation. The text is written in all capital letters because the author, whose authority is not given, believes it is best for children who are beginning to learn letters, despite other reading philosophy that points out that prereaders should become familiar with seeing both upper- and lowercase letters. The glossary is arranged in columns rather than left to right, and is confusing. Illustrations show interesting texture within the pictures of grass on nearly every page, but the picture of Farmer Phillip with a huge hand and a misshapen head is grotesque. Pass on this one.
