This intriguing counting book compels readers to carefully study the illustrations as each page starts with a number, followed by real-life context. For example, number 6 reads, “Six people in an elevator. One of them is scared he's missing out. Two of them feel lonely.” (n.p.). Roskifte's attention to detail, interesting use of color and line, repeated characters, and thoughtful text engage readers as they search each page for specifics, like the scared and lonely people on the elevator. The additional secrets and answers listed on the back endpages invite repeated readings and deepen readers knowledge.
