1, 2, 3, Count With Me

One skill that preschoolers take a lot of pride in is being able to count.  They love to tell others how high they count -- ten, twenty, fifty, hundred, etc.  This week, I'm going to share some counting books . . .

Presents the numbers one through twenty alongside colorful images of animals corresponding to each number.

I Spy Under the Sea by Edward Gibbs
Prompts children to look through spy holes and use clues to guess the underwater creatures, and encourages readers to count the animals.

Mother Goose on the Loose by Leo Dillon
Presents an illustrated collection of twenty-four counting rhymes, from "Baa, baa black sheep" to "Wash the dishes, wipe the dishes."

One Rainy Day by Valeri Gorbachev
A pig and various other animals crowd under a tree to escape the rain.
