As in her previous Arlene Alda's ABC, this keen-eyed photographer has managed to put a new and refreshing twist on the hoariest of children's-book content... number identification! This intriguing picture book takes you from 1 to 10 and back again, and each number is illustrated by often whimsical color photographs. Alda's sharp eye sees the number 2, for example, in an old-fashioned coat hanger; number 3 in the neck of a swan reflected in water; and number 8 in the two halves of a sliced and liberally cream-cheesed bagel. Some of the shapes are strikingly apt, while others need a bit of "reading," but all are designed to help young readers see the world--and the world of numbers--a bit differently. (Ages 2 to 4) --Richard Farr
