This number book was very simple in nature but great for beginning the task of learning to count. This book is complete with a number line on the left of each turn of the page. This greatly helps children who can't read just yet but can recognize numbers. The illustrations are simple and colorful as they should be for a book of this level. The only image/number correlation that they might be confused about is number eleven. it says "the eleventh hour" with a picture of a witch riding a bike. ( ) A number book starting from 1 going all the way to 13, its uses odds sayings to represent the numbers so I don't think it's very kid friendly. Even I didn't understand it. The illustrations were nice, I just wish they really represented the amount of the number shown. I agree with other reviewers about the title, I have no idea why it is called ODDS and EVENS. Heidi Goennel teaches children to count from one to thirteen in her book Odds and Evens: A Numbers Book. There are pictures of objects of interest to children, such as mice and a four-leaf clover. While children are counting, they are being introduced to common expressions. Hopefully, an adult can engage the child in a discussion about the meaning of the expressions. Throughout the book, children read the numbers in words, see the numbers as numerals, and count the number of objects, such as twelve stars. Furthermore, as they turn the pages, they are able to see the number in question in its appropriate position from one to thirteen. The graphics leave a little to be desired. I would have liked to find a discussion about the difference between odds and evens. no reviews | add a review
Counts to thirteen in terms such as one-horse town, six of one, eight ball, and baker's dozen. No library descriptions found. |
