Anno's Counting Book 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

The book Anno's Counting Book is a great book for helping children with counting and learning basic math concepts. It helps with addition and subtraction as well as grouping items. The book starts at zero, which is one of few books that start with zero. This helps children grab the concept the zero is still a number even when there is nothing to count. The book goes all the way through the number 12. Children are also able to count the objects in the picture. Each object in that picture contains that number that is on the page.
The style of the book is very simple for young children. Each page contains one number. On that page there is only that specific number of items that children are able to participate and count along. On the left side of each page are counting blocks. The blocks can help children with their addition and subtraction by seeing how many blocks are missing or how many they have to add to make a certain number. On the right side of the page there is the written form of the number which helps children visually see what the number looks like. The illustrations in the book are also very colorful and detailed, but yet simple enough for the children to count the objects in the picture. As you go throughout the book, the pictures also change through the different seasons of the year.
The book Anno's Counting Book is a great wordless book for children who are just learning how to count. It helps with addition, subtraction, grouping items, and writing numbers.

Editorial Review:

An excellent introduction to number systems that is a beautiful wordless picture book as well. . . Over the course of a year (each picture represents a different month and time of day) a little town grows up with viewers witnessing the building of bridges, streets, and railroads. . . . Extraordinary lovely art work.'

evocative, gentle beauty for young and old 5 out of 5 stars.
17 of 17 people found this review helpful.

As in other Anno works, an anonymous Everyman is seen in each two-page textless illustration. In this book, the traveler begins his trek alone, buys a horse and rides through progressively more populated scenes -- magnificent scenes, filled with literary and artistic allusions, mini-stories, children playing, panorama and touching detail -- all at the same time! Scenes are viewed as if you were just outside the picture and about 40 feet high. The reader/viewer cannot see the details of people's faces, but much human experience and emotion is contained in small details -- children despairing after a lost balloon, flirting lovers, a mother touching her child, etc.

Your child will appreciate this work through many 'reading' levels, and you will constantly make new discoveries yourself.

Mitsumasa Anno's books are not to be missed, and Anno's Journey is a beautiful example of the author/illustrator's work.

Editorial Review:

Told through brilliant illustrations, a colorful, wordless book takes young readers on a wonderous tour of northern Europe, seeing its landscape, geography, and architecture along the way. Reprint. PW. AB. H. "

Classic picture book for all ages 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

Anno's illustrations are simple and beautiful. I grew up with this book, checking it out of the library again and again. My mother and I still enjoy looking at everything that Anno manages to get into so few pages. You will always find something new if you have sharp eyes. Can you find the cat in the branches? Or the shovel in the wall?

Editorial Review:

A reissue from Hans Christian Andersen Medal recipient Mitsumasa Anno.

Diverse Learning 5 out of 5 stars.

(K-8)This is a great book to show children (and adults) that there are people like them all around the world who wake up each morning but live their lives differently and that is ok. The book is a wonderful representation through artwork and captions of what each child around the world does throughout the time period of a day and gives more accurate representations of what cultural norm's are through the images which can help children of all ages understand different countries and ethnicities. This book could be used with children of ages and to explore any content area not to mention it has wonderful illustrators.

Editorial Review:

Ten outstanding artists illustrate the similarities and differences in children and their activities in eight different parts of the world throughout one 24-hour day.

Features artwork from Raymond Briggs, Ron Brooks, Eric Carle, Gian Calvi, Zhu Chengliang, Leo and Diane Dillon, Akiko Hayashi, and Nicolai Ye. Popov

All of Anno's books are amazing. A true treasure hunt for the eyes. A great way to help educate a child on a specific place and its history. I don't know who enjoyed it more, me or my son. We have all the books in this series.

There are no words in this book, but nevertheless, the story gives children a great idea of Spanish culture. You can spend lots of time on one page looking at all of the little details which tell the story.

Editorial Review:

Mitsumasa Anno is well-known as one of the international greats in children’s literature. Enthusiasts, new friends and old, will be eager to take this armchair trip through Spain, a country rich in architectural and environmental beauty, and historical events. An author’s note is included.
