"Here's a cleverly designed book that celebrates the fun of counting, the joy of rhyme, the excitement of imagination and--vehicles. On black pages with die cuts of various numbers and sizes emitting patches of light, a question is posed. Turn the page and surprise! Those die cuts are encircling the lights on a familiar vehicle presented as a simple geometric shape with a young boy as the driver of each of them. The reverse cuts add something new to the spread. For instance, the answer the first question, "Light Shining Bright?" is a train's headlight. Cleverly that same circle is now set against the previous black page, and it's the opening to a tunnel. The book starts with one cut out and, continues through 10, and ends at 1. The final double-page spread shows a night-light in a muted room filled with toy versions of the vehicles on the previous pages, the child now in bed, reading this book. Blechman has created an interactive offering with lots of possibilities and a perfect ending." "-- "Edie Ching, "Booklist "starred review
