Yum, 2, 3! by Sabrina Moyle

Today's read is for the youngest readers out there and caught my attention because of...

Ice Cream!!!

Plus, there's counting, which sounds like a sweet and knowledge-filled mix. I'm betting I'm going to have to go out for a frozen treat after I get done visiting this read, but that's not a bad thing. Actually, it makes a pretty good excuse.

Off we go and see if this one is an inviting as it looks!

COMING MAY 13th!!!


Yum, Two, Three! is a fun rhyming concept board book all about counting from the superstar creators of My Mom Is Magical! and My Dad Is Amazing!

Do you want one scoop of ice cream? Or two? Or . . . maybe three or four? Let’s ask for more!

In this tasty trip to the ice cream parlor, the youngest readers will enjoy learning to count as another scoop of delicious ice cream gets piled onto a cone.

How many scoops can you put on your cone? Well, ten of course—which is revealed in a fun gatefold featuring a giraffe’s ten-scoop cone!

Sabrina and Eunice Moyle—also known as Hello!Lucky—lend their vibrant illustrations and pun-derful voice to this delicious rhyming board book, the first in a brand-new concept series for preschoolers. Future concepts will include shapes, colors, and opposites.

With ice cream and a little number-learning goodness, what could possibly not be good about this read?

This is a little board book meant for small hands and the youngest listeners. Just like the cover, the illustrations are bright and bold, and feature a popular favorite—ice cream. The entire thing sticks to a playful atmosphere and lets the excitement soar with every, very colorful scoop. Of course, there are sprinkles, whipped cream, syrup, and more involved to make ice cream lovers dream of getting their hands on a scoop themselves. Add the friendly and cheerful characters, who are enjoying the treat, and it's a positive read through and through.

While the illustrations carry this read so that even the youngest out there can flip through and enjoy, the text is kept brief. With only a few words, it fits with the intended audience level and stays on point. The number counting comes as the balls of ice cream increase, making it easy to count right along. It's quick, energetic, and fun, which helps it fulfill its purpose nicely.
