Concept Books: Numbers


Zero the Hero by Joan Holub is about Zero, who the other numbers think is nothing, zip, zilch, zero.  When the other numbers get in trouble though, Zero comes to save the day!


The peas are back, in 1-2-3 Peas! by Keith Baker!  This time, instead of the alphabet, we are counting to one hundred with the peas!


Ten Little Caterpillars by Bill Martin Jr. follows several caterpillars as they wriggle up flower stems where something amazing happens.


Hootenanny!  A Festive Counting Book by Kimberly Ainsworth features as set of owls that are working their way to the top of the oak tree for a party on Saturday night!  Those owls sure know how to dance!


One Foot, Two Feet by Peter Maloney and Felicia Zekauskas is a great book to introduce counting and plural nouns that are spelled differently from their singular versions.  Example: octopus to octopi; die to dice.
