Anyone familiar with the Burkes’ previous work will recognise the style of the striking illustrations. This boardbook is a welcome addition to the Irelandopedia series, and is aimed at the youngest readers, featuring the numbers 1–10. The numerical form as well as the word in English and in Irish appears in clear white font on brightly coloured pages. This dual language format makes it easy for parents to introduce small children to numbers in two languages simultaneously.
