Summary: review from Kirkus – HERE
Why I like these books: I found these three in short succession, so I thought I’d share them together. Each has deceptively simple yet engaging artwork and at the same time is completely unique in content – key to a great concept book! And my personal preference – they’re all humorous! I’ve linked each for further information via their Kirkus review (above).
Resources/Activities: Read them together – or with other counting books; create your own, with drawings or photos of items from the classroom or home;
For more Perfect Picture Book picks with teacher/parent resources, check out the list on Susanna Hill’s blog HERE.
These counting books look oh so cute. Gosh, I feel so out of it sometimes when it comes to picture books – I’ve not heard of any of these! I guess that’s why I’m following YOU….hee hee Off to check them out in more detail! Have a great weekend!

Robin, you have the best kidlit book shelf around (it must be huge). Every Friday is another winner. I love the humor in these counting books. It sets them each apart from the crowd.
