Reviews

Praise for Count My Cupcakes 123:

"The rhymes read smoothly, and the rhythm bounces along to a predictable beat. Wan's palette of pink, mint green, and lemon yellow is tempered by shades of peach, olive green, and purple, along with chocolate-brown outlines. A harmless sugar-coated confection that won't rot baby's teeth." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Wan's distinctively cute artwork and the irresistible tactile element hit a sweet spot." -- Publishers Weekly
