Watch a bicycle race and try to guess who wins as the numbers are all mixed up ( )

Unfortunately, I was not the biggest fan of this book. I did not like how the counting was mixed up, as this could be misleading for children learning to count. The book could help children learn their numbers, but it will not help with number order. ( )

A counting book for the youngest -- filled with motion, excitement, and suspense. Twelve riders compete in a bicycle race. Who will win? (A word to the wise: Keep your eye on Number 9!)

This was a story about a bike race with each of the twelve riders having a number. "Number 9" has trouble with their bike when the race begins but thanks to her perseverance and never giving up, she is able to come from behind and win the race. The repetition of listing the numbers as "number 9" went from last to first through the book helped add suspense and showed that "Number 9" was getting closer and closer to first place. The illustrations, though simple, helped separate the different bikers and drew attention to "Number 9", who was the only part of the illustrations in the book drawn in red. ( )

This book is a counting book, but in the form of a bicycle race. The book goes up to numbers 1 to 12.
