Baby Cat Nicky 123

This is a very cute, very simple counting book. Each left hand page has a simple phrase describing what the "nicky" cats are doing, while the right hand page shows a large number and the cats. The cats are great for counting, and the simple phrasing makes for an easy read. I appreciate the board book format because it is so sturdy. High recommend.

A fun book for little ones. They enjoy the cat and trying to find him.

This book is really cute. It has an actual photo of baby cat Nicky that is repeated in neat ways and my daughter has fun discovering how he is incorporated into the artwork. The book teaches numbers in a clear and fun way and the rhymes on each page are really catchy. Overall the book is just really fun and one of my daughter's absolute favorites!

Although we are a little past childbearing years, grown-up children from our and friends' families are having babies of their own. What can we give them that is beautiful, worthwhile, AND distinctive? Carol Friedman's latest additions to her "Nicky the Jazz Cat" collection are absolutely perfect gifts for a spectrum of occasions - showers, birthdays, holidays, or "just because." Created as a prequel to the award-winning "Nicky the Jazz Cat" originals, "Nicky's Jazz Lullabies" and the introductory counting book "Baby Cat Nicky 123" are just as charmingly and thoughtfully conceived for very young children. Three preschool teacher friends have raved about the suitability and creativity of these new items. The colors and graphic design, the perky appeal of the kitten, and the clever use of simple rhymed wording in "Baby Cat Nicky 123" promise repeat readings. The tender, gentle nature of the musical selections rendered by distinguished jazz artists on "Nicky's Jazz Lullabies" assures that wee listeners' dreams will indeed be sweet. Carol Friedman deserves a place in the pantheon of contemporary children's literary VIPs for sharing memories of a beloved pet as well as honoring jazz artists who have contributed so generously to America's unique musical genre.
