One, Two, Buckle My Shoe
by Salina Yoon
Ages 0-3 22 pages Robin Corey Books January 2011 Board book    

Children can learn the numbers one to ten by reciting the classic nursery rhyme One, Two, Buckle My Shoe.

In Yoon’s (Five Rubber Duckies; Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star) newest board book, square-shaped die cuts partially cover circus animals. Two mice have developed an entertaining show that includes an elephant that picks up sticks, a lion that lays sticks straight, and a good fat hen that ice skates.

Children can interact with this story in several ways. There are a number of shapes and objects to count (stars, diamonds, feathers, hoops) and two examples of how they can write the numbers one through ten (1 or one, 2 or two). Readers can also ask the children to try and guess what each die cut is covering before they turn the page.

Yoon uses a variety of bright, solid colors in her illustrations and text. The one instance of dialogue in the book is used effectively as a prompt to open the two flaps that appear at the end of the rhyme. This would be a fun book to use when teaching children about numbers, shapes, or rhymes.
