BASIC COUNTING

  • Ten Apples Up on Top!, by Dr. Seuss (a counting classic!)
  • 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)
  • I Know My 123, by Stuart Trotter (an interactive favorite of my kids when they were toddlers – tons of great lift flaps)
  • 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)
  • 365 Penguins, by Jean-Luc Fromental and Joelle Jolivet (counting and SO much more! One of my very favorite children’s book)
  • Math Curse, by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith (cute and funny)
