"Mrs. Wiggles and the Numbers is an adorable book. The story itself and the illustrations are exceptionally well done. The colors are bright, making the numbers jump off the page. The prose is a perfect match for the pictures. I found the rhymes simple and easy for early readers to handle. It also teaches compassion as the numbers help one of their own feel included.

If you don't have a little one in your life to share this book with, it would be a great gift for any library, school, church, or daycare."
