5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed for years

My children enjoyed this book when they were young and I am sure my grandchildren, only babies right now, will enjoy it too. It is a mystery and a counting book all in one and it is illustrated by Quentin Blake--you can't beat that!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cockatoos
Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2001
Ten cleaver cockatoos lead the absent minded Professor Dupont through a zany adventure, covering every room of his old house. Young readers will delight as they spy the birds hiding in unlikely places. Parents will be thrilled as well, as the children count, and recount the elusive cockatoos. The illustrations are exceptional, as we have all come to appreciate in the work of Quentin Blake.

I love the lively drawings in this book, plus, where the cockatoos hide, is so true-to-life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book ever!

This is one of my favorite children's books.
I loved having my kids find the "fine feathered freinds" hiding out on each page.
Quentin Blake is so tongue in cheek funny, and his illustrations are the bomb.

5.0 out of 5 stars Riesenvergnügen!

Ein zwanghafter Professor, dessen Tagesablauf bis zum kleinsten Handgriff immer gleich abläuft, erlebt die persönliche Katastrophe- seine zehn Kakadus sind verschwunden! (weil sie -völlig angenervt von der allmorgendlichen Begrüßung "good morning, my fine feathered friends"- ihm eine Lektion erteilen wollen) Und nun folgt eine für den Leser sehr vergnügliche Suche- denn dieser sieht die Kakadus frech aus ihren Verstecken lugen. Der Professor hingegen sucht das ganze Haus ab, ohne auch nur eine Feder zu finden und verbringt daher eine schlaflose Nacht, steht am nächsten Morgen sichtlich mitgenommen auf- und ob er daraus gelernt hat wird hier nicht verraten.
Lässt sich auch gut im Grundschul- Englischunterricht einsetzen.

Used this in Reception class teaching prepositions. They loved it. Follow up activity - we hid cockatoo pictures in the outdoor area and they did a treasure hunt with a sheet I made to find them. Great fun.
