“Benji R. (Age 4)”
“Finnegan's silly! Like when he chases the kitty, whoosh! I like saying '1,2,3!' loudly. And the backwards part is funny – '10,9,8... dive!' Mommy says I'm good at counting now. Can we read it again?”

“Leah K. (Mom of 3yo)”
Reader“Sam's 3 and usually squirms during books, but he asks for 'Finnegan' every night! He laughs at the chopstick dinner page and shouts the numbers with me. Honestly? He counted backwards from 5 yesterday – totally out of the blue. I think Finnegan's goofiness just makes it stick in his head. It's our new favorite snuggle-time read.”
