This is very cute! I appreciate that it doesn't use a ton of nonsensical rhyming just for rhyme's sake, as I see too much in children's books these days. The numbers are prominently displayed on a background that allows the child to clearly see and identify them. The counted items are also easy to find and count aloud as you read.
At the right price point, this could be a very cute addition to a children's board book collection- especially one who lives in Tahoe, or is visiting the area soon. I have a lot of stories I could tell my daughter about a Tahoe boat ride, the gondolas, etc from my childhood visits to Lake Tahoe, so this book could easily become a nice long storytelling cuddle if I read it with her.

This children’s book is completely adorable and the artwork is fantastic. Perfect for a 2-4yr old! The rhymes are cute and sweet. Great way to practice counting

I am not sure what made me request this book but it was such a cute book and it uses Lake Tahoe itself to teach children how to count. I LOVED the illustrations and they showed the kinds of nature and animals you might find in that area.If I had a small child, I would definitely buy this one and read it all the time to them. I have to say this was one of the most unique books I have ever seen that teaches children how to count...it could be a very interactive book for parents and children to read together...I loved it.

Darling illustrations and clever rhymes guide kids through learning to count to 10. Clever illustration on the last page allows children to search for the numbers hidden in the picture. I can see this book becoming a favorite that little ones will want to read again and again.

A gorgeous book with fun and engaging pictures to teach kids how to count. I think kids will really enjoy following along with the cute animals in the book

So cute and perfect! I loved the unique theme of this counting book, and there were zero flaws with the illustrations. This book will both engage kids and teach them how to count at the same time. It was an interesting idea for the illustrator to have all of the numbers hidden in the picture on the last page, but it was a good idea! This increases the ability for kids to interact with this book, which is perfect to help little ones learn.
Bravo!

This is a cute and simple counting book with a nice rhyme. I didn’t love it, probably just because the illustration style wasn’t my taste.

3 stars.

Very cute counting book. I loved reading it with my kiddo and she really enjoyed not only the counting but looking for bear and chipmunk each page. The only other feedback I have is that I wish the seasons stuck together rather than oscillating between summer / warm weather and winter / snowy as you turn the page.

When I saw a book about Lake Tahoe, I of course had to pick it up. Living in this area for 55 years I was delighted to see all our native animals in the story. It’s a beautifully designed, colorful story. I actually loved that it started with the M. S. Dixie, an authentic Mississippi paddle wheeler. There is so much to help engage young children in the pictures and talk about all the animals that can actually be seen in the Tahoe and the Reno area.

What an absolutely delightful counting book. The graphics are cute and I'm a sucker for a rhyming structure. It makes the book a bit easier to read in my opinion. I like the way the book toes the line between believable and disbelief. Marmots and chipmunks - believable. Mountain lions on ski - not believable. But captivating for younger audiences. I could see adding this as a board book to our regular rotation.

This is a great book for children, which shows babies, toddlers and young children some beautiful animals and numbers, so that they can learn how to count. The pictures in the book are really bright and colourful, which will capture children's attention easily. I loved the cute animals and seeing their actions. I really enjoyed this book, and I recommend it highly!

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book.

This is such a cute book that uses the native nature of Lake Tahoe to teach children to count. The illustrations are done in such a cute style, and is a good representation of the native nature and surroundings of Lake Tahoez

It can also be a good tool for teaching children english as a second language, as it is simple, and all the illustrations help with identifying words to things. This is the way we are teaching my cousins english, by reading english childrens books to them.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley, Kevin Sullivan and Michael Furuya for this copy.

This is a super cute counting book for young children. It also introduces children to different types of animals, including some they might not already be familiar with. The illustrations are fun and engaging. This is definitely a fun book to read with young kids.

Tahoe 123 has extremely cute illustrations and alliterations. Along with that, it introduced some uncommon new animal vocabulary to toddlers such as marmots. I will say, there is some vocabulary in here (e.g., gondola) which feels more appropriate for an early elementary student while the rest of the book I would be recommending to toddlers, but this could be good for those kindergarten students still working on counting skills. The illustrations also provide the opportunity for 1-1 counting correspondence!

What a fun and educational way to learn how to count. The illustrations in this book are so vivid and appealing. I like the Lake Tahoe theme and all the different animals that are associated with the lake. Beary Bear and Cheeky Chipmunk are great tour guides to delight and teach children. I recommend this for the home library and pre school library.
