Great Counting book

I got the book just in time to start my early school year (We began August 1st) and my kindergarten class can relate to the things that Emily does. They are even getting impatient to see what happens on the 100th day of school!

Great for Teachers

This is a great book for teachers and students especially in the Kindergarten and first grades as they can count together along with Emily the first 100 days of school. They enter a small part of Emily's world . . . her first 100 days of that school year. Most Kinder and first graders mark each day that they are in school and have a big 100th day party to celebrate. What I like about this book is that a teacher can integrate math and literacy as they count along with Emily. Emily shares each of her 100 days with us in an interesting and unique manner. My students learned about music, geography, family, and a host of other topics one day at a time.

Another winner by Rosemary Wells--just delightful!

This book is really special! Emily counts off the first 100 days of school by talking about each and every number and matching it up with something to do with that day--her sister Eloise learning to play Seventy Six Trombones, her class learning about the nine planets, the prizewinning pumpkin at the fair weighing 33 pounds, and so on! The book is oversized, and filled with great Wells pictures. In the short piece of info given with each number, we get to know Emily's family and the joys and sorrows of her first year of school. We've read this book over and over. It's great for a child just starting to get excited about numbers, as they can look up their favorite ones to see what that number has associated with it. It would also be a great book for a child starting school. If you love Rosemary Wells, as I do, you knew you would like this book, but even I was impressed with how special it is!

Emily's First 100 Days of School is a delightful book.

In this very charming book, Emily starts school and her teacher, Miss Cribbage, has them write a number down in their number books for each of the first 100 days of school. The pages are bright and colorful and the numbers are easy for small children to read. Each number has a lesson to be learned from it. Ms. Wells' characters are as always cute and adoreable. My twin four year girls absolutely loved this book. It is an excellent book for teaching numbers from 1 to 100. I would recommend it to anyone.
