Reviews

"[A] picture book full of fantastical watercolor illustrations that's designed to get 3- to 7-year-olds totting up their numbers."
- The Wall Street Journal
"A companion to Dek's When I Am Big (2018), this playful picture book focuses on older children, kids who are revving their imaginations and developing zany plans for their future....Delightful renderings of offbeat notions and quantities."
- Kirkus Reviews
"Three cheers for a counting book for big(ger) kids!...This 46-page picture book sets out to pleasantly challenge a slightly older reader, or the child who is ready to take on higher double-digits."
- New York Journal of Books
