About This Book
Peter Sís's "Going Up! A Color Counting Book" offers a charming and engaging way for young children, primarily ages 2-6, to practice counting and color recognition. The story follows various people, each dressed in a different color, as they board an elevator, ascending from the first to the twelfth floor. The anticipation builds with each floor, culminating in a joyful birthday surprise. This book is perfect for read-alouds, encouraging interaction as children identify colors and count along. While the listed age range is 4-11, its core concepts are best suited for preschoolers and early elementary learners.
As the elevator moves up from the first floor to the twelfth, various people dressed in different colors get on, all bound for a birthday surprise.
