Count!

by National Geographic Society

Kids never get tired of counting and neither does National Geographic Little Kids. Introducing National Geographic Little Kids Look & Learn: Count! This first installment in the series of Look & Learn will keep kids engaged for hours. Using gorgeous animal photography, children will learn number recognition through observational learning in isolation and in context—an important early learning concept. Each animal appears isolated on the page and associated with a number, and on the following page, the same number of animals appear in their natural environment. Parents will love watching their kids grow and learn with this fun new companion that is the perfect size for little hands to take everywhere.

I can't wait to learn about the next animal group. I wonder which one it will be?

We love this book for a few reasons. A couple are: 1) The pictures are realistic and top notch and 2) all numbers (1-5) and animals are shown twice providing repetition.

I am pretty sure PRD now likes zebras because of this book. She points here little finger at the animals sometimes while I count them out loud for her.

Simple little counting 1-5 book with animal photography. F has recently gotten into counting (she only goes to 3 so far, but seems to be starting to understand one-to-one correspondence when counting) so I thought she might like this. She really only picked it up a couple of times while we had it home from the library, though.

Beautifully illustrated with photos of animals, children count one to five with a fun fact about the animal(s) they just counted. The final two pages have rows of animals, which children can count one to ten and then to twenty.

And the photo of the tree frogs is irresistibly cute.

I really loved this book! It's great for children because it has really great pictures of animals, gives them cool and interesting facts, and helps them learn counting skills! Just a great informative book and I think one kids would want to read because it is so appealing to their interests.

This book has some wonderful photos in it from National Geographic. It helps the reader count from one to ten and at the end it shows all ten numbers and then also twenty butterflies. It also includes fun facts on each page.

Great idea from Nat Geo. In addition to teaching counting skills, it also teaches basic facts about wildlife.

The photographs in this book are great to help young counters get into counting to 10.
