Tall Tall Tree, written by Anthony D. Fredericks and illustrated by Chad Wallace, is a lovely book to teach children about nature and ecosystems while they count from one to ten. It takes place high in the treetops of a majestic redwood tree and tells a rhyming story counting the animals that can be found up there.

As your little mathematician explores number theory, they must learn to count both forwards and backwards. Paul Stickland’s Ten Terrible Dinosaurs begins with ten and removes one dinosaur at a time (because they fall down, or their mom calls them home) to eventually get all the way down to one. This rhyming book is a great choice for very young children. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee7b7ea4acec60af6758695/1596216844059-IRUAW6VNG4QQTX3ZFGNN/star+wars+123.jpg Blog: What I'm Reading - Books that COUNT! Star Wars 123 is a large and sturdy board book with shiny photograph illustrations from the film franchise. It is not a rhyming book, but the text is clear and simple, providing both the numerals and the written out numbers for each page. It is fun to use the universe of Star Wars to count with your child: ONE grand master Yoda, TWO sides of the force, THREE heroic friends Han, Luke, and Leia, all the way up to ten, with a few extra pages to illustrate 25, 50, and 100. Although I’m not a huge Star Wars fan, even I have to smile when I think of this book. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee7b7ea4acec60af6758695/1596216939633-RF3ZMKYZOJ1HJL4D0XUQ/tall+tall+tree+chipmunks+6.jpg Blog: What I'm Reading - Books that COUNT! Tall Tall Tree (continued). Although the illustrations are breathtaking, my only problem is that young children who are learning to count for the first time will have trouble finding all the animals they are supposed to count. Older children will appreciate this challenge, and will even find some hidden creatures on each page that are described at the end of the book. At the end of the day, this book is more about nature appreciation than counting, but I still like to include it in my counting books repertoire. https://www.kathleenhawksbooks.com/blog/malala-mommy-and-me monthly 0.5 2020-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee7b7ea4acec60af6758695/1594923158530-5Y54EU8EBMO35JZEB5ED/malala%252Bmommy%252Band%252Bme.jpg Blog: What I'm Reading - Malala: mommy and me book club https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee7b7ea4acec60af6758695/1594923335596-NU8CJRQJ1NCCRRXMOYC6/malala%2Bmagic%2Bpencil.jpg Blog: What I'm Reading - Malala: mommy and me book club https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee7b7ea4acec60af6758695/1594923552221-6UDPAITWCS776PLL87KZ/malala+silence.jpg Blog: What I'm Reading - Malala: mommy and me book club https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee7b7ea4acec60af6758695/1594923412527-38CSSR6YMH6XXK6EBCJW/malala%2Btaliban.jpg Blog: What I'm Reading - Malala: mommy and me book club This image of the taliban patrolling the village is the only image in the book that could be considered truly frightening https://www.kathleenhawksbooks.com/blog/storm-called-katrina monthly 0.5 2020-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee7b7ea4acec60af6758695/1594920153050-FU1DONSOYFY8WR9LUE9B/storm+called+katrina.jpg Blog: What I'm Reading - a Boy, a Trumpet, and a Storm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee7b7ea4acec60af6758695/1594920346254-HR0SUAS1WCN2WGG3VZB1/storm+called+katrina+dog.jpg Blog: What I'm Reading - a Boy, a Trumpet, and a Storm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee7b7ea4acec60af6758695/1594920488665-QR1K3TDZR5CCQ4UOEZ5V/storm+called+katrina+3.jpg Blog: What I'm Reading - a Boy, a Trumpet, and a Storm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee7b7ea4acec60af6758695/1594920221723-NDIWMMCWQ04YMPF60VPU/stron+called+katrina+2.jpg Blog: What I'm Reading - a Boy, a Trumpet, and a Storm https://www.kathleenhawksbooks.com/blog/q7d5cryacyxb115wbbwurqox486drs monthly 0.5 2020-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee7b7ea4acec60af6758695/1594919132672-1PBO3IW0LD4UQSUBJ1ZR/birds%2BEric%2BCarle.jpg Blog: What I'm Reading - Eric Carle Poetry Collections One page of Animals Animals is dedicated to different types of birds.
