Mouse Numbers: A Very First Counting Book

By Jim Arnosky

A determined mouse goes on an expedition, purple umbrella in hand. The mouse ventures from his zero-shaped burrow entrance, past one toadstool, up and down two hills, across three stepping stones, counting all the way to the beach-where he relaxes until the tide turns and a big fish with ten scary teeth sends him scurrying home, counting back down to zero. This wordless, but not quiet, story will engage young children, who will enjoy spotting the numerals in the mouse's landscape and discovering things to count when they go on adventures of their own.

A Favorite

My 2 year old son loves this book as well as the companion book, Mouse Letters. These are the first two books that he chooses to read every single night, without fail. They are cute books, but I'm not sure why he likes them so much. I wouldn't have picked them out for him, but he saw them in the library and chose to take them home. We have renewed the books so many times that it looks like we will need to add them to his permanent collection.
