This was an interesting book, in my ignorance I thought the brownies would be the dessert that I love so much with ice cream.  However, the brownies are weird looking creatures. The child I was reading to did not have an issue with them and thought they were “fun” looking.  In addition, she would like them to help her with her homework.My major issue with this book is that it does not work as a counting book.  First, there is not always the proper number of brownies depicted (for seven brownies, I only counted six).  The other issue is that brownies are displayed over two pages but the kindle is setup to display only one page at a time.  For example, in order to count 7 brownies it is necessary to keep track of the four brownies you counted on the first page and then turn to the second page to count what should be three more.  However, in this book there are only 1  more.  Like me, you may find yourself flipping back and forth trying to locate the other brownies before you realize they are not there.  The missing/wrong number brownies occurred several times and I just stopped counting.
