3.0
Published- New York : Mulberry Books, 1999, c1992
ISBN- 0-688-10429-0
Illustrated by Donald Crews
Reading Level- 1st-3rd grade
Genre- Non-Fiction, Humor
This is a great counting books for young students learning how to count. Each page counts through a different picture, the first being 3 flowers with 6 petals each and 2 ants on each petal. The book then asks how many flowers were there? Then asks how many petals there were in all? Then how many ants in all? It's a great book to do a read aloud with kids who need to work on their counting skills. I also liked that each page was a different image. The part I liked the best was there is a riddle at the end of the book where a man is heading to St. Ives. He mentions passing 7 men each with a wife and each with a child, and then it asks how many people were heading to St. Ives? Since you're used to counting out the totals of things at that point you count out the total, only to realize that there is only 1 person going there, the one man.
