Best Counting Book Ever


Title: Best Counting Book Ever

Author: Richard Scarry is an American children's author and illustrator who published over 300 books. He was born on June 5, 1919 in Boston, Massachusetts.

Publisher: Sterling (2010)

Genre: Fiction

Grade Level: 1-2

Brief Synopsis: This book introduces numbers and counting from one to one hundred, as Willy the bunny counts all the things he sees in one day. For example one day he counts two eggs on his daddy's plate.

Theme/Skill: Counting/ Math

Pre-activity: As a class we will count to 100 together aloud.

Post-activity: Have the students use their favorite number only using numbers 1-100 and create a page so that the class can put together a number book using everyones number. The students must include an illustration that goes along with their number they chose.

My Refection of the book persuading people to read it:
I think this is a great book to help children learn numbers. There are so many different activities an elementary teacher can use to go along with the story. I also like how the students can participate throughout the story by counting the objects throughout the story.
