"The lyrical quality of the prose is the perfect accompaniment to
the paintings...This is a really rich text in every sense of the
word, with so much potential to support early language work and
number development."
*English 4 - 11*
"The pictures are gorgeous, full of small details which you pick up
on a second or third reading. The detail is exquisite and the
wording is playful and easy to read aloud. The end papers are
stunning … A playful lyrical text and striking images make this a
spectacular counting book."
*School Librarian*
"A gorgeous counting book that brings animals and numbers together
in exotic combinations."
*IBBY Link*
"If you like your books beautiful and your adding up to be
aesthetically pleasing, then this is the publication for you. The
sumptuous illustrations will make teaching little ones their sums a
treat for parents and carers. Meanwhile, the bouncy rhyme and
absorbing wording will keep kids interested in the additions."

"Should numbers or letters be lacking from your picture book
library, however, here are a couple of Christmas essentials. Jackie
Morris's One Cheetah, One Cherry: A Book of Beautiful
Numbers is a particularly decorative counting book, and I
especially approve of her 'four fine foxes, sharing strawberries' -
balancing large fruits on the tips of their noses."
*Observer*
"A book to treasure."
*Books for Keeps*
"Stunning in design, colour and use of numbers for counting to ten.
It combines maths and art with ease in glorious technicolour!"
*DolphinBooks - the blog*
"Exquisite watercolor-and-gold-leaf paintings of animals and
objects that look as if they tumbled out of medieval illuminated
manuscripts distinguish this counting book. (Picture book.
4-6)"
*Kirkus*
"Playful words, unexpected pairings and beautiful animal paintings
combo=ine to bring us a very special counting book. The watercolour
illustrations, each of which is a little work of art, are
embellished with gold and silver leaf, and show us some lovely
animals, including foxes, elephants, tigers, swans, mice and more.
A beautiful book which takes counting books to a new dimension; one
to pick up and pore over with delight."
