About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child has mastered basic counting and is ready for the next step: understanding groups and skip counting. "Count by 10 to 100" transforms this foundational math lesson into a delightful rhyming game. The book progresses from 10 to 100, dedicating each spread to a new number with vibrant illustrations of countable items like toes, pennies, and stars. As children successfully count higher and higher, they experience a powerful boost in self-confidence, associating learning math with joy and accomplishment. Its simple, repetitive structure makes it perfect for preschoolers and kindergarteners, providing a clear and engaging tool to build number sense without any pressure.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is a secular and direct educational tool with no sensitive content.
Ideal Reader
A 4- to 6-year-old who is comfortable counting to 20 and is ready to understand the concept of grouping and skip counting. It's especially good for a child who learns well through rhythm and rhyme, or one who might feel intimidated by workbooks and needs a more playful introduction to math concepts.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The book is self-explanatory and can be read cold. For enrichment, a parent could gather 100 small items (like beans or pennies) beforehand to practice making groups of ten after the story, but this is not required to enjoy the book. A parent has just heard their child try to count a large pile of LEGO bricks one-by-one and get frustrated and lose their place. Or, a preschool teacher mentions that they are beginning to introduce counting by tens in class, and the parent is looking for a way to support that learning at home.
