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.
None. The book is a secular and direct educational tool with no sensitive content.
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.
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.

Sign in to write a reviewA 3-year-old will enjoy the bright illustrations, the rhythmic language, and the act of pointing to and naming the objects on the page. An older 5- or 6-year-old will grasp the mathematical concept, feel proud as they correctly predict the next number in the sequence (20, 30, 40…), and internalize the pattern of counting by tens.
Among many counting books, this one's strength is its singular focus and clarity. It doesn't get distracted by a complex plot or overly busy illustrations. The clean design, simple rhyming text, and direct one-to-one correspondence between number and objects make the mathematical pattern of skip counting exceptionally clear and easy for young children to absorb.
This is a straightforward concept book designed to teach counting by tens. Each two-page spread introduces a multiple of ten, from 10 to 100. A simple, rhyming couplet accompanies a bright, clean illustration depicting that number of objects. For example, "Ten little toes all in a row" is paired with a picture of a child's ten toes, and "Twenty eggs the chickens lay" shows a basket of twenty eggs. The book systematically builds upon itself, culminating in a celebratory "One hundred!" at the end.
