"This book was about a little duck who woke up one day and couldn't find her bright red boots. The book is actually part of a series, and it was fun to read the other books that go along with it. The book could be used to introduce the very simple concept of subtraction. The duck has 2 red books, and then none, and then 1 of 2. The book was colorful and entertaining. It is best suited for pre-k and below."

" This would work even better as a board book, because then the toddler could carry it around like a toy and memorize it well enough to be able to 'read' it independently. Gotta love the message, too. "
