About This Book
As Mary and her mother walk down the street, they wave and are waved at by consecutively increasing numbers of people.
Wonderlit Review
Waving A Counting Book by Peter Sís offers a gentle introduction to numbers through a simple, repetitive narrative. As Mary and her mother stroll, they encounter an increasing number of people, each interaction marked by a friendly wave. The book beautifully models positive social engagement and observation. It's ideal for young children learning to count and for parents seeking a quiet, heartwarming read-aloud that encourages connection and awareness of the world around them. While the stated age range goes up to 11, its core appeal is for preschoolers and early elementary children.
