Very few pages and very little content overall compared to other Tag Jr books. No story, just counting 1 to 10.
Rating: 2 / 5
I own the entire Tag Junior library. Check out my ratings before buying books! (I wish I had researched before buying!)
I can see why the previous reviewers were disappointed, because it does seem pretty basic. However I think the reviewer who judged 1-2-3 Dora to lack substance is missing some key opportunities within this book. It is not just sequential counting 1-10.
The book starts out with Dora asking her little reader, “We’re going on a picnic. Can you help me count the fruit for my basket?” Each page features a different fruit (pineapple, bananas, oranges, guavas, limes, mangos, cherries, strawberies, blueberries, and coconuts). While my 3-year-old can easily count in sequence from 1-10, he has not yet had much practice looking at a picture and counting how many of an object are there, which is what this book encourages. Not only that, but for my 15-month-old daughter, it will teach number sequence, build her English vocabulary (fruit names), and both my daughter and sons alike will get a light introduction to Spanish, which I LOVE. We are already bilingual (English and Arabic), so introducing the #2 language in the USA will help them.
I rate this book 5 stars since a large age range will actually benefit from this book, as advertised.

I saw the previous review only gave this book 2 stars but decided to order it anyway because my family is bilingual and that is something i want to pass on to my little girl. It is a short book and does not follow a story line. I would still buy it again solely because it does contain spanish words and phrases; however, I was a bit disappointed because it calls banana the same in English and Spanish. I grew up knowing bananas were called “platanos” in spanish. I have friends from different parts of Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador even from Puerto Rico and we all know bananas as platanos in spanish so I’m wondering where leapfrog got there spanish from. I hope leapfrog makes more bilingual story books, but I hope they put a little more effort into it.

Note….If your child can count to 10. Do not Buy!! However, other than the counting there is also fruit identification. Plus people just need to relax and let their kids have a good time

I understand this book is for 2-4 year olds, but my daughter could count to five before she turned two, so this book is a complete bore. There is one sentence to begin the book and then all the other pages just has a number with whatever fruit Dora is bringing the picnic (for example: “Six pineapples”). My daughter only made it through approximately two pages before she was done with it. Really confused why they wasted their time and energy making this one.
