"Beck's unique take on the conventional counting book is filled with beautifully descriptive imagery that brings to life each creature using simple words and short poems... The cadence of each animal perfectly suits its actions, and evokes the rhythm of each creature for young readers."The colourful collage illustrations by Patkau will provide hours of absorbed study, with realistic details... The best counting books are those that encourage the child to participate in the process, and "One Hungry Heron" succeeds in spades with a search-and-find technique."-- " Canadian Children's Book News"Counting book, vocabulary builder, nature book and more, "One Hungry Heron" is one of this year's absolute must-buys by early years/elementary school libraries and public libraries. Highly Recommended." -- "CM Magazine"
