★★★★★ Indies Today "The perfect counting book for your little learners. If you've ever enjoyed a family vacation at the beach, then Ten Little Sandpipers is the perfect counting book for your little learners. The colorful book features a fluffy family of sandpipers nestled in the sand near the breaking waves. One by one, more young birds are introduced until ten adorable creatures are featured on the page. Besides the birds, children can also find and count happy little crabs, playful dolphins, seashells, and some starfish. The final pages include a few fun facts about sandpipers that are as subtly educational and are sure to delight readers. There is nothing revolutionary in this counting book made for pre and early readers, but what Kim Ann has written is heartfelt, approachable, sincere, and absolutely one of my favorite counting books for young ones. The artwork is brilliant, taking a familiar landscape and adding a splash of adventure. And the scene could be any beachfront location, making the book personal for kids in almost any location. Even better, if your children haven't seen the beach, they'll definitely want to as they get a vibrant preview of the nature they're bound to discover. The pipers are so cute and endearing, especially the sleepy looking bird with his tiny leg sticking out as he plops down in the sand. Evocative of happy summer memories and bright sunny days, Ten Little Sandpipers is sure to bring a smile to the face and a warmth to the soul of anybody who embarks on the journey to count a group of friendly gray and white sandpipers."

★★★★★ Readers' Favorite "Mathematics helps children to be focused problem solvers and have a more agile mental capacity. This grounding is important and if children practice reading books at the same time, they will be able to understand what they are taught in school more readily. Ten Little Sandpipers: A Counting Book is the ideal material for this. The book presents its story in the form of rhymes so that children can learn to count the numbers from one to ten. Each rhyme shows different activities to expand the child's vocabulary. Author Kim Ann assists the development of analytical thinking in the early stages of childhood by overcoming their fear of mathematics and reading. I liked the illustrations of Ten Little Sandpipers, as children will enjoy images of starfish and seashells. The beach landscapes are tranquil because they portray quiet and pleasant moments. The rhymes are amusing and will help improve children's short and long-term memory. I found Ten Little Sandpipers to be a wonderful introduction to reading. Children's first books are important because if they like to read, they will develop their memory and other skills. They will have the self-confidence to learn new things and become better at everything they set their minds to. Kim Ann provides us with a valuable tool for children to develop their attention span while they enjoy learning."
