These Know Your Numbers titles are a pleasant departure from the cartoonish artwork and uninspiring design exhibited by many picture books in series. They feature inviting, bright illustrations that are digitally rendered but give the impression of textured cut-paper and they liven up a potentially dry topic – counting – with enticing real-world situations: building a skyscraper, harvesting vegetables to make tossed salad for dinner. Though both books are well done, (One Big Building) perhaps shines brightest. Little ones will find Ouren's bustling workers and vehicles in bold primary colors mesmerizing and they'll love counting all 12 stories of the finished building, so tall that the horizontally formatted book must be rotated 90 degrees to accommodate a picture of it. Sidebars depict each number in three different ways — as a word, a digit, and a series of dots — and the numerals hidden somewhere on each spread will keep children engaged.
