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.To encourage and develop children’s counting knowledge, here are eight books (with an accompanying download) that are common to preschool classrooms. For example, your child can see a group of four cows and a group of three, then add them together to get seven cows. The illustrations can be used not only to teach counting but also to help your child learn addition and subtraction. For example, on the page with five, you can ask: How many children are here, and how many are over there?

A PowerPoint of the book is below) You don't need to print the dots outyou could make your own black dots or just draw them instead. This beautifully illustrated book invites children to look closely to find all the ways the illustrator has integrated number into the drawings.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. This is not so easy because the objects are scattered throughout the illustration and your child must look carefully to find them. But the seemingly simple plan of the book is deceptive: look more carefully and you will see one-to-one correspondences; groups and sets; scales and tabulations; changes over time periods; and many other mathematical relationships as they occur in natural, everyday living. Key learning in children’s overall development—including language, social, and emotional skills—grow and strengthen because of early math skills. In Anno’s Counting Book by Mitsumasa Anno the author encourages young children to go on an exciting adventure of imagination through the wonderful illustrations.
