Reviews
A Fuse #8 Production
“. . . [A] pretty darn good combination of classic tale and mathical mathiness.”—Betsy Bird
Jewish Independent
“Counting on Naamah is a charming story, creatively and colourfully illustrated.”—Jewish Independent
San Diego Jewish World
“[F]amiliarize children between the ages of 4 and 8 with mathematical concepts while delighting them with stories of animals at work and play on the famous Ark.”—San Diego Jewish Book World
Sydney Taylor Shmooze
“. . . [A]dds a note of female empowerment . . . . The author and illustrator lean heavily and humorously into anachronisms, with Noah performing a comedy routine holding a microphone, images of modern blueprints, and pencils held by Naamah’s helpful goose friend . . . especially those who want to show that girls can be great at STEM too.”—Sydney Taylor Shmooze
Tablet
“Filled with mathematical puns and cheerful illustrations by Mary Reaves Uhles (try to find the duck on every page!), this is a fun read.”—Tablet Magazine
