A quirky counting book based on the number of feet a critter has. Moves from pretty simple addition/counting to 10 to more intricate multiplication and counting by 10s.
Review
So cute! And informative (insects have 6 legs, spiders have 8, etc.) The author, whom I met at a conference lately, said she's received notes and pictures from classes of school children using the book's premise for their own counting projects. One class showed the different ways to make the number 200 from snails, people, dogs, insects, spiders and crabs. Very clever and a lot of fun!
4 out of 5 stars
Recommended for: Amazon says pre-school through grade 2. I think the kids that will really "get" it would be in first through third grade. The illustrations will appeal to younger viewers/readers and each page builds on the one before which will help children grow their number skills with the book. Math teachers could do a lot of fun projects with this one!
Cautions: none
