Puppy lovers will enjoy seeing ten puppies adopted and raised. With colorful illustrations, the different puppies are compared by their features, each time with the two groups of puppies numbering a total of ten. 'Nine had pink tongues. One had a blue tongue.' This work might be used to identify a number of concepts (colors, shapes, and numbers), as an introduction and practice tool for simple addition, or simply as a counting book for the youngest children.
