School Library Journal
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.
