Reviews

"Bright, painterly illustrations depict the sunny desert setting; jewel-toned robes, turbans, and blankets enliven the sandy palette. . . . A winning, witty, and surprisingly effective combination."-Booklist"Young readers will giggle along as they familiarize themselves with cardinal numbers in both languages and spot Jouha's grievous but comic errors. . . . Engaging and filled with gentle humor-a solid choice for home or school use."-Kirkus Reviews"Full-color paintings expand the repetitive text, tracing the journey of ten distinctly different donkeys across the desert landscape and indicating the passage of time with the position of the sun, the color of the sky, and the size of the shadows underneath the donkeys."-School Library Journal"This book teaches Arabic numbers through repetition while poking fun at the silliness of Jouha, making it a good choice."-Library Media Connection"Margaret Read McDonald is not only the world's expert on folklore for children, she is also a fine storyteller, as this counting book shows."-Children's Literature
