Great Counting Book!

This book helps with counting numbers in a unique way - by using animals. The book goes from turtles (one) to beavers (ten) in a very rhythmic way. It also explains what the animals are doing all day and tells us where they're doing it. At the end of the book, they reinforce the numbers once again by highlighting them on the final page.I enjoyed the rhyming pattern that the author used. I also liked the choice of animals and the words that he used to describe the animals.This book could be used for a counting lesson. It also could be used as a literature lesson if you were teaching your children about poems. It could also just be a book that you read to your children for the sheer fun of it. A really nice selection!

Great kids book... My 5-year old son loves it

This is my son's favorite book right now. We have the book on tape, and they do a great job of reading it.
