Very easy to use for early stimulation.

For babies and toddlers, this book is designed to be explored in a physical edition, since the description mentions that it is part of "Touch and Feel" series, which is intended for learning through interaction.

I have had access to the digital version and I can not give my opinion on the quality of the textures, or any physical characteristic about this "simple sensory baby book". What I can say is that these types of activities are useful for the development of emotional intelligences in children. I think that this type of interactive books are great for children with kinesthetic predominance who love to touch everything around them. And to complement the development of the other sensory channels, the book is already visually appealing, and on the other hand the parent or tutor can interact by verbalizing the numbers out loud and inviting the child to pronounce them. In this way we stimulate the development of several sensory channels through which children acquire and process new knowledge.

My appreciation to the Publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to review the book

Proof 123: Touch and Learn Numbers by Arielle Berg
Illustrated by: Isabel Casal
Publisher: Heartlab Press
ISBN: 9780995044135

Thanks to NetGalley and publisher Heartlab Press for the ebook ARC written by Arielle Berg and illustrated by Isabel Casal in exchange for an honest review.

This book is recommended for ages 2 and up. Introduce your child to first concepts of numbers. Through touch and simple words, toddlers can enjoy their first counting book with ease.

I give this book a rating of 2 stars. I read this book to my 4 year old daughter who enjoyed the pictures of the numbers.
At the beginning of the book I wasn’t very impressed with it. Its all written in capital letters and the vocabulary isn’t for a 2 year old. I don’t really recommend this book. Cute illustrations though.

Makes learning numbers engaging for kids who are interested in science/outer space. Short book for kids who are just learning very basic numbers.

I don't get this book. It should be a simple counting book, but is more convoluted. The numbers are on a space flight but they are fighting. There is a simple rhyme to put numbers in pairs, and then “poof” the next illustration shows them getting along. Plus the poof is always a beaker, like some science experiment was done. I want to like this but it needs more or better thought out.

This book is a super fun and cute interactive book perfect for toddlers and preschoolers. My 4 year old son has a recent obsession with the word poof so he absolutely loved this book!
This book is full of rhymes and colorful pictures-- a fun way to learn numbers. IA great book for growing little minds!
I would definitely recommend the paper version over the digital version as it it meant to be an interactive book, tracing a line between the numbers.

Poof 123: Touch & Learn Numbers
By Arielle Berg
I liked the idea of interacting with the pages. Each page had a pair of numbers who were misbehaving. Using your finger you are connecting the numbers to a magic potion to bring them back together. It was a simple book with a simple concept. One thing I would have added would be having all the numbers joined together so you can count as a number line.

The kid astronaut faces a crisis when the numbers he’s working with don’t like each other any more. Through rhyme and chemistry, he gets them back together.
This is for really small kids, as in those just barely learning numbers and reading. It’s as simplistic as possible, but I guess that’s a good thing. There is a risk of slightly older kids rejecting it, with cries of “I’m not a baby!”

What a wonderful book to teach children numbers. The book goes on a spaceship quest while rhyming to gather all the numbers together. The book is colorful and memerable for children 2-4 to learn their numbers. The book is short enough to hold attention of children.
I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

This picture book is for young children who are learning to recognize their numbers. With a simple rhyming text, toddlers are invited to move the squabbling 1 through 9. The background for the illustrations is outer space. This book is an easy way to reinforce number learning with young children.

From the cover I can tell that this book is brightly colored and this will appeal to young readers. I found the content to be lacking. I do think the book may be hard to appreciate as an ebook since it's labeled touch and learn.

Fun, interactive counting and rhyming book. Toddlers will get a kick out of the "poof" on every-other page.
