Galloway, R. (2010). Ten shiny snails. New York: Scholastic.
Ten Shiny Snails and Counting Butterflies in Cahuilla share the same purpose as a counting book, however these books have differences. First, the illustrations use different medias. Patienco uses soft lines and muted colors (in watercolors) to depict the butterflies making these 2-dimensional images uncluttered. Also, the images do not fully cover the pages. Galloway uses the full page and bright colors mixed with tactile snails. This books is eye catching, but filled with images. Counting Butterflies in Cahuilla counts up from 1, while Ten Shiny Snails is the reserve. Moreover, Ten Shiny Snails has a story line that rhymes, unlike the other picture book that is strictly counting with image association. Both books have number recognition and counting as a focus, yet the presentation of this theme is quite different. ( )
