BASIC COUNTING

- Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed, by Eileen Christelow (the well-known song put to super cute illustrations)
- The Ants Go Marching, by Jeffrey Scherer
- There Were Ten in the Bed, by Annie Kubler (cute, classic, and interactive)
- Counting Kisses, by Karen Katz (sweet and simple)

- Ten Little Caterpillars, by Bill Martin, Jr and Lois Ehlert
MATH CONCEPTS
- How Much is a Million?, by David M. Schwartz and pictures by Steven Kellogg (This is one of my son’s favorite picture books. It does a terrific job of explaining the concept of large numbers)
