本書はとても楽しい数の絵本である。しかし、よくある数の絵本とはひと味違い、ただ単に数の数え方を教えてくれるだけではない。ページをめくると、ネズミのシェフ特製のココナッツキッスやピーナッツバタークッキー、リンツハートなどの甘い甘いごちそうが現れ、順に数え上げられていく。それだけでは終わらない。これらのおいしそうなお菓子は、今にもよだれを垂らさんばかりになっている読者の口めがけて絵本から飛び出してくるのだ。
ロバート・サブダによる飛び出す仕掛けは見事だとしか言いようがない。読者は食欲を刺激され、芸術にうるさい人でさえも、この本の繊細でうっとりするような美しさに感嘆のため息をつき、同業の専門家たちは「一体どうやって作ったのだろうか？」と首をひねることだろう。工夫を凝らしたサブダの作品は、好奇心旺盛な子どもに持たせるにはやや繊細な作りになっているかもしれない。しかし、韻を踏んだ数え歌、数の練習、そしてお菓子の魅力がいっぱい詰まった、動きのある楽しい紙の世界に、甘いもの好きなら誰もが魅了され、一緒になって声に出して読んでみたくなるはずである。

Yum! This delicious counting book offers much more than the numbers one to ten. Each page is a feast of sweet, sugary treats--coconut kisses, peanut-butter cookies, Linzer hearts, and more are carefully concocted and counted by mouse chefs. The tempting desserts are made all the more delectable by
Robert Sabuda's brilliant pop-up constructions that leap from the pages, practically into your salivating mouth. Aesthetes will swoon at the magical beauty of this exquisite book, and the engineers in the crowd will wonder, "How did he
do that?" Sabuda's astounding creations may be too delicate for excessive youthful probing, but the sing-song rhyme, counting exercises, and joyous paper explosions of confectionery delights make this a wondrous read-aloud for the sweet-toothed of all ages.
(Ages 3 and up)
