Review by School Library Journal Review
Gr 2-5A combination counting book and introduction to French civilization, Count Your Way through France is attractive but superficial. Readers will learn how to count to 10 in French (a skill easily picked up from vocabulary books and tapes). They will also acquire a smattering of information on the country (a topic better served by history and geography texts). As with other books in this series, the matching of items and numbers is often awkward. The watercolor illustrations are pleasant but subdued. More useful material on France and the French language is readily available.Ann W. Moore, Guilderland Public Library, NY (c) Copyright 2010.

Review by Horn Book Review
Each book uses counting from one to ten (the numbers are presented in French, Greek, and Gaelic, respectively) to introduce bits and pieces about the country. The culture, language, music, food, history, and geography are included in easily digestible, if fragmented, units. The art is mediocre, but the books are satisfactory introductions.
