Publisher's Summary:
Numbers 1-10 are missing! If they can't be found, how will people count?
Ranger is a search and rescue dog who answers the call to find the lost numbers. His mission is to overcome any obstacle and stop at nothing until those numbers have been found.

Come along on Ranger's journey and help him count down from ten!

Delighful little learning tool...and it features a dog! What more could you want?
I am rather fond of "number books" and "alphabet books" made for children. In my opinion you cannot have enough of them. Children, like adults, will tire of the same old book when learning their number and need a bit of variety from time to time to hold their interest. In addition to this, a sure fire way of holding a child's interest is by the use of animals, in particular dogs or cats. This has been proven over and over again...it is a surefire ploy. The author, Celeste Butrym and artist, Nicolas S. Milano have done a bang-up job in using this formula with this latest offering.
The author has used a beloved search and rescue dog from real life...her real life, as a model (The back of the book tells of this wonderful story and the part this animal played in the author's life), by the name of Ranger.
It would seem that the numbers 1 through 10 are missing! Not a good thing if you are at all into counting things, and they must be found. Ranger the search and rescue dog is call upon to find these missing numbers and set everything right. Will he be able to find them? Can the young child find them with Ranger?
Ranger and the reader begin the search which takes them through various environments. Each number is hidden (but not hidden to the point that it is difficult to see them), page after page. The text here is simple but well executed.
"Number ten is on the roof! Look at Ranger climb; he's bringing him down just in time. Nine has fallen asleep near a stream. Ranger just found him, perhaps it was a dream."
Now a word about the art....I am not normally a bit fan of digital art work. I suppose I have not been able to make that leap at my age. I have to tell you though that in this case it worked for me. It is well done, smooth and extremely eye catching. The illustrations go perfectly with the text and I can tell you, since I tried this one out on some very young kids, that it works for the little ones also.
This work would make a wonderful addition to any young child's library and is a great learning tool.
