What an adorable little counting book! I really liked that it wasn't just the counting. It had information about Antarctica, the animals, and some science as well. My 4-year-old niece really enjoyed reading this book. She made me read all of the detailed information at the end. She asked some questions and told me how dolphins and whales are similar. We both enjoyed reading this one!

I wish this had rhymed or something. The animals pointed out were nice and the illustrations were quite well done, but the book had no flow for a counting book.

I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. Great counting book using different animals that live in Antarctica.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley!

The cover of this book really is quite adorable and suites the title / book.
The illustrations were great.
My children and I really enjoyed this book.

I'd definitely purchase a copy and check out other books by the author.

One interesting book for kids who started to read. A good initiation for curious minds about Alaska. I myself get acquainted with snow petrels, which I never heard before. A fun way to know what the other side of the world see everyday.

I have really like this book!! Maybe, you will think that it will be another counting book with any little new idea, but I’m sure that you will be completely wrong.

Firstly, I am keen on the illustration technique. I had seen it before, yet it is not so usual on this type of books and I like it. It is a different way to do the illustrative part.

On the other hand, it is a wonderful idea to do a counting book with Antarctica as a plot. It is a place that the childrens need to know and it is a perfect first meeting.

Another part that I really enjoyed is the final pages of the book. All the explanations about the continent and the animals is something that adds value to the story and complements the book magnificently.

A gorgeous book that the kids will love.

I want to express my gratitude to Netgalley and Charlesbridge to give me the chance to read and review this book.

Ten Animals in Antarctica is a beautiful pre-reader book exploring arctic animals--some easily recognizable and some strange! The illustration is so stunning! Realistic animal portrayals in an artistic and inspiring style. It has multiple teachable elements, the most obvious that it's a counting book. It also has silly rhymes with alliteration as well as a wonderful varied vocabulary to expose little readers to new words. The end has a section with further information, I loooove when kids books have these.

Thank you Charlesbridge and NetGalley for an ecopy of this book in exchange for my honest review!

A great counting book for little kids that also introduces the, to Antarctica and the various animals that can be found on that continent ! The illustrations are gorgeous!

This was the cutest book. The illustrations are gorgeous. Not only are kids learning to count, but they learn new things about the different animals in the book. This book highlights the big and little things in Antarctica. I think that this would be good for a classroom or if you child us just starting out learning how to count.

I really enjoyed this book as an adult and thought that the illustrations were lovely.

It is a great book to learn about the different animals in Antarctica.

It is advertised as a counting book but it is more a fact book for me – my daughter is three and learning to count and her numbers at the moment and this is far too advanced for her but it would be one that she would be able to pick up when she was a little older.

It is 4 stars from me for this one – lovely images and one for younger children to grow in to!

I really liked the cover, but the rest of the pictures throughout didn't make me excited to read this. The colors were on the dull side and the fonts used didn't jump out at me. I don't know if a child would be very interested in this book.

Ten Animals in Antarctica is a lovely and highly educational book perfect for kids with an interest in animals. The illustrations use a cut-paper collage style to great effect, and are genuinely gorgeous. The text doesn't rhyme or follow a typical singsong pattern, but rollicks along playfully in a way that would be really fun to read aloud with a little kid, through the use of devices like alliteration ("frosty floes") and internal rhymes ("lumbersome, cumbersome"). The book is rich, multilayered, and fun, and even introduced me to a couple of animals I didn't know myself! I appreciated the extra information at the end of the book, on the South Pole(s) and the animals included. A great choice for storytime or reading aloud with the little ones!

Thank you to NetGalley and Charlesbridge for the advance review copy!

Absolutely loved this book. A great book for counting and learning about Antarctica and the animals there. The art could definitely be a little distracting for some, but my daughter really enjoyed it and this book really kept her attention.

This is a cute counting book with great illustrations and a great way to teach about Antarctica. It's engaging, but possibly a little advanced for those learning numbers, which only makes it one to grow into.
Many thanks to Charlesbridge and NetGalley for the advance copy.

As an adult, I appreciate and love the different artstyle which has an abstract vibes to it with all the junk artistic display kind of illustrations.

But for a kid to start learning how to count, I prefer the objects shown alongside the numbers to be distinct and pleasing to their eyes with well defined wholesome basic colours.

Thank you, author and the publisher, for the copy.

A good volume – it was nice to see this was more than just a counting book, for we got to learn about Antarctica and all the animals we'd been asked to count as we turned the pages – but I did think some of the artistry got in the way somewhat. Yes, it's for the creator to show off her skills and I am sure she has many (certainly many more than I) but I did think some of the visuals she came up with – especially the cliffs the birds swooped past – were there for the sake of her aesthetic, and not to appeal to the junior reader. Still, this edition is not the first this book has had, so clearly people know she is in the right. For me, however, the look and design of the piece was only a three star rating, although my appreciation went up with the non-fiction bonus pages.

I received an advance copy of, Ten Animals in Antarctica, by Moira Court. This is a cute counting book for kids.

Thanks so much to NetGalley and Charlesbridge for my copy of Ten Animals in Antarctica by Moira Court. It publishes January 19, 2021.
I had the help of two 8-year-olds and a 6-year-old for the reading and reviewing of this book.
I wasn't sure if the 8-year-olds would be interested in a counting book or not, but I knew the 6-year-old would for sure! Luckily, this book isn't just counting, but also provides plenty of information about the animals and Antarctica itself!
The illustrations are very beautiful too!
This would make a great gift! Also would be great for a home school library!

Gorgeous art in this one, that will attract young reader's attention for sure. The book shares information about the landscape, location, and weather in Antarctic. Next it goes into poetic counting featuring animals of the land. Some of these animals children will be familiar with, like whales and penguins, some will be new to many like the flying squid. Fun book, great bedtime read. Can't what to share it with my grandson.
