An fresh look at the numbers one to ten, using familiar urban scenes captured by Zoran Milich’s expert camera lens.
PreS-K-An excellent, well-constructed concept book. Outstanding color photographs invite children to count skyscrapers, taxis, firefighters' boots, and other familiar objects around the city. The superb pictures feature not only the required number of items, but the corresponding numeral as well. Multiple representations of each number make this book an excellent teaching tool and show children that numbers are all around them. For example, the number two is shown on the left-hand page as a numeral, as a word, and represented by two dots, and its placement is highlighted in red in a series of numbers from 1 to 10. The opposite page has a photograph with two taxis in the background and a yellow sign with the number two in the foreground. Additional counting practice is possible on the full spreads that are interspersed throughout, showing the numerals in succession, such as an elevator with eight floors, and a running track with lanes labeled 1 through 6. Children will thoroughly enjoy this first-rate counting book.-Melinda Piehler, Sawgrass Elementary School, Sunrise, FL Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

City 123
Title: City 123
Author: Zoran Milich
Genre: Photographic Essay
Theme(s): Counting
Opening line/sentence: "One"
Brief Book Summary: This counting journey through the city of New York shows young students that numbers are everywhere and that it is important that we learn them. While this book may seem like a regular counting book, it is a tribute to the firefighters of Engine 8 Ladder 2 who died on September 11th in the World Trade Centers.
Professional Recommendation/Review #1: Horn /book: From "1 Empire State Building" to "20 Children" ("They love New York City!"), this companion to ABC NYC takes readers on a photographic tour of the Big Apple's landmarks and calling cards (bridges, sculptures, bagels). The spreads are beautifully composed: each black-and-white scene is paired with a color photo of the target numeral found painted, printed, or erected in the city.
Professional Recommendation/Review #2: Book Links: Preschool-K. Eye-catching color photographs display the numbers I through 10 in urban settings, such as the number 7 on a lamppost with 7 skyscrapers in the background or 10 mail slots on an apartment building.
Response to Two Professional Reviews: I had never noticed until I read the reviews that not only did the pictures have the number it but it also had that number of something included in the picture. For example the picture of the 2 had 2 yellow taxis behind it. I thought that was a cool thing the photographer did to make the book more interesting and for students to get a visual of each of the numbers.
Evaluation of Literary Elements: I think children would like this book and they would be able to do what the photographer did and find numbers in the places that they live. The pictures also give students a visual representation of the number, which helps them to learn them and recognize them in everyday life.
Consideration of Instructional Application: I would use this book as a model for making our own class photographic essay in which we would go outside and try to do the same thing the photographer did with this book and then put all the pictures and make a class book that we would keep for free reading.
