Toddler-PreS–Die-cut circles, carefully placed, turn this outwardly simple board book into a triple whammy concept book of colors, numbers, and sizes. From 10 silver beads to nine gray pebbles to eight black raisins to seven green peas to zero white snowballs, there are round objects aplenty to count and compare. Bright, flat colors give the pages punch, and little ones won’t be able to resist poking their fingers through all those holes.

VERDICT Strong graphic design turns learning into play.
