What is the target age for this series?

I wish the author of this series had put age recommendations on the covers of these books. My 2.5 year old daughter absolutely LOVES the 'jumping on the bed' and the 'sitting in a tree' books. It was a huge disappointment when we opened this one together and it was a small-print NOVEL focusing on elementary math. These books vary so wildly in which stages of development they cater to. It's hard to know which ones to buy or not buy.
