Complex math! But cute

[Jennifer Heise · Rating 5 out of 5]

This addition to the Little Rabbit series is excellent for the older preschooler (4+) and kindergarten Little Rabbit fan. It works through most of the basic math readiness exercises with the familiar, adorable rabbit characters; the parent can coax a less eager arithmetician through it with simplification and later move up to doing the counting and matching activities on each page as described. Not a bedtime book-- requires a certain amount of attention and takes quite a while to finish. The illustrations are as charming and lifelike as ever. Definitely a keeper.

A friend kindly gifted this to my daughter and she was super engaged when we read it together for the first time!

I chose this book to learn how to incorporate books into teaching, and I found this book to very cute. After reading the book, I see the education value and I really like how the pictures went along with counting. This book was very interactive and will help kids learn to count from 1-10 and recognize how to count objects.
