Teaching numbers and counting is so much fun with children's books! But how do you find that book when hundreds of counting books crowd shelves? Some are fabulously inventive and educational while others simply rehash what we've all seen in numbers books for years. To stand out from the crowd, great numbers and counting books should do more than just present increasing numbers of items matched to increasing numerals. Great books in this genre should engage readers, spark imagination, and teach other age-appropriate concepts. All these books do just that.
