"This is good for teaching numbers. What I especially like about the book is that it says the number numerically on the pages, followed by the written version. This was helpful for my tutor buddy to read. He was able to look at the pictures, the numbers, and apply that to the text."
"10 turtles are sitting on a tree and whenever they are startled by another animal in the forest, one falls off into the water below--Splash! The illustrations are lush and the words are almost poetic. Children will love seeing all the different animals and enjoy the extra facts about each animal in the back of the book. It will invite discussions about nature as well. Possible flannel board or stuffed animals falling off an edge at story time. For pre-k and K.
From Pub Weekly: "Falwell's (Where's Nicky?) combination of counting book and nature tale, in an idyllic pond setting, begins with "Ten timid turtles, lounging in a line." These attractive Eastern Painted Turtles (identified at story's end), with sweetly placid eyes, intricate stripes and loops of yellow and orange on their shells and bodies, appear on every spread but decrease in number with each turn of the page. Various creatures send them scuttling for cover off their log, one by one, and into the variegated blueness of the pond."
From SLJ: "This lovely countdown features Eastern Painted Turtles and various insects, birds, and mammals sharing a pond habitat. As each new creature appears on the scene, one more turtle jumps off the log and into the water. Eventually, the blue sky of day gives way to rose and purple shades and all 10 tired turtles are underwater to "settle for the night." The familiar counting scheme plays out in beautifully constructed collage scenes. Many of the animals are quite realistic; some are less detailed. Birch bark and leaf prints add realism to the lush growth surrounding the melded blues and greens of the water. A white panel on either side of the double-page view contains a large blue numeral, the verse, and trailing bits of picture to soften the contrast. The pleasing glimpses of the shy turtles and their neighbors end with a satisfying recapping of the count in a night view lit with fireflies. Three final pages augment the pond visit with information on the behavior of each animal and brief instructions for making leaf prints. This is pleasing fare for reading aloud at bedtime, or anytime, and offers an inviting early nature lesson.""
