Wikijunior talk:Numbers from 1 to 20

It might be interesting to (ab)use parserfunctions to pseudo-randomly swap out the image & caption so we can rotate through a few of them for each page. So, as you go through the book, you'll end up with different stuff shown (1 apple, 2 dogs, 3 cakes... next time is 1 carrot, 2 parrots, 3 cars...) &mdash; Mike.lifeguard &#124; talk 05:15, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Series
I was thinking about making this a series like the Alphabet books.
 * Numbers from 1 to 20 - Original: Would have all of the categories that the other books would be based upon.
 * These would be individual books:
 * Numbers from 1 to 20 - Food
 * Numbers from 1 to 20 - Inanimate Objects
 * Numbers from 1 to 20 - Animals

We would have to decide on a specific format for the pictures on the pages especially for the larger numbers. We would also have to determine what type of picture could be displayed on the front page to show the difference between the original. I would love to here your opinions on this. --Xxagile (talk) 22:11, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

3 lemons
Is wrong, there are only 2 lemons in the picture (one is cut in half).

Lining up ten pictures in each row.
I wonder if it would be a good idea to line up the pictures so that there are ten pictures per row. Just looking at page 17 for example does not give an emediate impression about that there is 17 fishes there if one not realy counts. But if there where ten fishes in a first row and seven fishes in a second row with fish 11 emediatly under fish 1, fish 12 under fish 2 and so on, one would emediatly realize that there are seventeen fishes depicted. I think such lining up of the pictures would help a child to get a feeling for the base-ten number system.

Spelling
As many kids are just learning to write as this age it would be useful not to have words which are spelt incorrectly in the country of the child. The text below 20 states TWENTY colored pencils. Obviously to most of the world this is a spelling mistake although it's perfectly fine in the USA. Rather than giving International and US English it would be better to find other pictures whose words don't have spelling differences between countries. ЗAНИA talk 22:44, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

Improving the book
I have a few suggestions for improving this book. It already seems pretty polished, but:
 * The images, particularly towards the end, diminish in quality. It's just some random clipart image copy-pasted 17 times over, instead of an actual photo showing 17 objects.
 * Currently, the digits on each page are shown as images, but the images used in each page use differents fonts and sizes. I think these should be displayed as text, but with a very big font size. I simply don't see the point of having an image of text instead of displaying as actual text.
 * The style of each page is inconsistent. Some have the images and text left-aligned, the others have everything dead center.
