Gentle watercolor pictures show a landscape changing through the various times of day and the turning seasons, months and years, and the activities of the people and animals who come to live there. There are many different groups of objects on each page that show the target number, such as seven cows, seven houses, and seven trees. After reading Anno’s Counting Book, Nancy Beza at Waters Elementary encouraged her preschoolers to make a list of objects that could be found in a winter scene—snowflakes, trees, etc. For example, your child can see a group of four cows and a group of three, then add them together to get seven cows.

As you turn each page notice the clock tower marking the hours, the number of blocks on the side of the page, and how the seasons change. For example, on the page with five, you can ask: How many children are here, and how many are over there? to have another go at playing loud and quiet sounds but this time, you are going to be following some simple sequences which will tell you when to play your instrument loudly and when to play them quietly.

Children can find mathematical ideas from the very simple to the complex in this book and can look at the pictures over and over again. If you enjoyed the sequences activity, then you could have a go at making up your own sequences using the acorn and oak tree pictures.Key learning in children’s overall development—including language, social, and emotional skills—grow and strengthen because of early math skills. To encourage and develop children’s counting knowledge, here are eight books (with an accompanying download) that are common to preschool classrooms.
