Simple counting book using lovely photographs. Whomever was in charge of editing the photos for the book needed to photoshop out the extra eagle; even though it is a bit blurry, it is still obviously an eagle, making the written text incorrect.

Peaceful real life pictures of nature and animals while learning to count. Very picturesque!

This combined review of 1, 2, 3 Moose: An Animal Counting Book and O is for Orca: A Nature Alphabet Book also appears on my blog, Read-at-Home Mom.
123 Moose (ISBN: 9781632170323) and O is for Orca (ISBN: 9781632170330) are nature-themed concept books illustrated with photographs. While neither is especially memorable for me, O is for Orca has made an impression on Little Bo Peep. At a recent playdate, she sat in her car seat in a room full of wild toddlers, happily turning the book over and over and occasionally even flipping open a page. This was her first time really handling a book on her own, and I was pleased to note that she had not yet figured out how to eat it, and that she seemed genuinely interested in engaging with the book because it was a book, and not just because it was a random object. A friend also grabbed the book and read it to her toddler during this same playdate, and she was impressed by the variety of animals, but not as thrilled with the ending where, she said, "I guess they just gave up when they got to the end of the alphabet."

Too often books for toddlers talk down to them and are too simplistic. I really love books that are real and teach toddlers in a way that respects the intelligent human beings they are. These books teach the reader about so much of the Northeast US wildlife while also working on ABCs and counting. I really enjoyed how not only does it say “O is for Orca,” but the author also describes the nature photographs that accompany the letter/number (ex. “Swimming by mama’s side is where orca calves love to be.”) And speaking of the photographs, they are beautiful! Wolfe is a very talented nature photographer whose eye brings the nature to us.

For parents and youngsters who are great animal and nature fans this makes for a great read. In addition to the counting aspect of the book (from 1 to too many to count!), there are gorgeous photographs representing different animal species, including moose, a wolf pup, orcas, auklets, and snow geese. The author also includes an interesting fact about each species, such as the fact that cougar kittens purr when they are happy or that orca babies double in size in their first year, or that male elk whistle to gather together. While a couple of the photographs are a bit blurry it isn't really noticeable. There is much here to be enjoyed.

Introduces the numbers one through twenty against a background of photographs and brief text describing animal and plant life found in the Pacific Northwest.

Ada quickly flips through the other pages but lingers over the ELEVEN BEARS, saying "AAAH AAAH AAAH" and pointing. Such excellent bears.
