BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K - OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

The characters from PBS's "Splash and Bubbles" are featured in this board book that focuses on counting from 1 to 5. Each page has 1 fish, 3 sharks, etc. along with some conversation with the stars of the TV show. Besides the counting there is a minimal of other information shared about the ocean.

This is the kind of board book you buy simply because you like the TV show its from. There is also some added appeal from the squishy fish tail sticking out the side of the book that will be a hit with babies. The bright colors are fun, but as a counting book this one is nothing to rave about.
