Here is a delectable counting book that goes all the way to thirteen--a baker's dozen. Steaming German chocolate cakes, perfectly formed cherry pies, and gooey jelly rolls are just a few of the jolly baker's sweet treats.

This is a really adorable and tasty looking picture book about the baker's dozen. You really should not try to read this hungry, because the colorful, shiny cartoon illustrations look waaaay too good. This is a good counting book, but it does have harder words like pastry and eclair, so I was confused as to who the intended audience would be. I'd say K-1st is probably a good bet. One thing that bothered me is that the expression a baker's dozen means 13, as in you will get 13 rolls, but this sto...more
The Baker's Dozen: A Counting Book is full of wonderfully expressive illustrations...in which we can all relate (well, those of us who like desserts, and who doesn't?). The baker bakes just enought of each treat...one chocolate eclair, two German chocolate cakes, three cherry pies,etc. A delightful book.

The Baker's Dozen is great for young children who are learning how to count. The book counts up to 13 using familiar food items that children love. The words and numbers are clear, colorful, and distinct. The pictures represent what is being stated. Teachers could use this book to introduce counting to young children.
I think this is my favorite counting book of all time! It's really a great little counting book written in rhyme. Of course, anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE to bake and eat baked goods, so it's double the fun for me! This book will have you salivating by the end!
This is another one that would fit into the community helper unit in pre-k and kindergarten, as well as reinforcing counting skills. The illustrations are fun and it goes all the way to thirteen which sets it apart from a lot of the simple counting books I have seen.
Most people, especially children enjoy baked goods. It was a smart idea to combine baked goods with the concept of counting, one through thirteen. I also liked that the last couple of pages of the book lists each number with pictures of the baked goods by quantity.
If you like sweets and pastries, this is the perfect counting book for you! Full of rhynmes, sweet treats and whimsical illustrations to help youngsters count from 1 to 13.
This book makes you hungry. But I like it because it counts to thirteen instead of the usual ten. And the illustrations are mouth-watering.
As with Andreasen's other two I've on here, fantastic art, this one pretty inventive in his take on the usu. counting book...
This is a well done counting book with great illustrations, but sooooo not a good book to read when you are craving sweets. :)
Really fun counting book for preschoolers! Loved the illustrations but am seriously craving a cupcake now...
This would have been a great book to use in our "icky-sticky" story time.
