My review, found here on LibraryThing, was create for those of us who take cataloging seriously. This book adds a bit of confusion, as per pagination since the book's pages are numbered and total numbered pages is 37. Why is that confusing? Well, page 37, a recto page (right hand side of the book), is found printed on the inner part of the rear end paper. Technically, as I have learned, this is generally not numbered or counted in the total page count. Against my better judgement, I have decided to count page 37, to lessen disagreements that may potentially be waged. I will however stir the pot with this tidbit. If they are counting the recto page of the rear end paper, why not also count the verso page of the front end paper in the total page count (by this I mean count 38 pages and define it further in the LibraryThing's pagination field by specifying that one of the 38 pages is unnumbered)? THAT makes sense to me but, this is obviously LeapFrog School/Tag School system and their book designer made the rules, not like nearly every other publishing company out there which help establish a standard. We all have out cataloging quirks, this is just one of mine.

I will cut and paste this review to all the books that I have acquired in this series, which currently stands at three. Special thanks to the Norwalk (CA) Public Library for having a great price on these.… (más)
