My First Counting Book Book

This isn't really a review as such; but since a couple of my Goodreads friends were kind enough to like my addition of this book, posted yesterday, to my read shelf, I thought a short explanatory note might be in order. :-) For the sake of completeness, I try to list as "read" even small children's books, both those I read as a little one (if I can remember them!), and those I've read aloud to my daughters or grandkids. This was one we read aloud to our girls as toddlers, but I'd forgotten about it until I saw a copy yesterday that someone had donated to the Bluefield College library. (No, it wasn't intended to support the math classes --we have a children's section! :-) )

Both this book and The Poky Little Puppy's Counting Book (another work in the same vein, which we also read to the girls a lot and which is also on my shelves) are good books for teaching little ones to count, and to memorize the names and values of numbers in English. The illustrations are colorful and appealing, and the text is simple. Our girls liked both books, and often requested us to read them.
