Know Your Numbers from the Garden a Counting Book About Growing Food by Michael

Description: Know Your Numbers from the Garden a Counting Book About Growing Food by Michael Dahl, Author Michael Dahl, Todd Ouren Pea pods, cucumbers, and strawberries provide plenty of opportunities for counting in the garden! Follow Dad, Grandma, and other family members as they pick and count. Hidden numbers on every page give readers an opportunity to search and learn. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Michael Dahl is the prolific author of the bestselling Goodnight, Baseball picture book and more than 200 other books for children and young adults. He has won the AEP Distinguished Achievement Award three times for his nonfiction, a Teachers Choice award from Learning magazine, and a Seal of Excellence from the Creative Child Awards. Dahl currently lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Review Counting, hidden numbers to find, and fun facts are included in these two books. The first one presents 11 vegetables, from 1 tomato to 11 peppers, resulting in 12 plates of salad for a family. Each page records the harvesting with sentences featuring 11 different verbs and alliteration adjectives and nouns, which will encourage vocabulary expansion. The second title describes construction from the ground up, with "One big plan for making a big building" to a handy enumeration of the machines needed to complete it, culminating with "Twelve stories tall, the new building gleams in the sun." "Fun Facts" includes information about the worlds tallest structure (the CN Tower in Toronto, Ontario) and a listing of occupations connected with construction. In both books, bright, bold illustrations on full spreads make the items easy to count. Multiple uses and learning opportunites make these titles useful purchases.-- "School Library Journal"These Know Your Numbers titles are a pleasant departure from the cartoonish artwork and uninspiring design exhibited by many picture books in series. They feature inviting, bright illustrations that are digitally rendered but give the impression of textured cut-paper and they liven up a potentially dry topic - counting - with enticing real-world situations: building a skyscraper, harvesting vegetables to make tossed salad for dinner. Though both books are well done, (One Big Building) perhaps shines brightest. Little ones will find Ourens bustling workers and vehicles in bold primary colors mesmerizing and theyll love counting all 12 stories of the finished building, so tall that the horizontally formatted book must be rotated 90 degrees to accommodate a picture of it. Sidebars depict each number in three different ways -- as a word, a digit, and a series of dots -- and the numerals hidden somewhere on each spread will keep children engaged.-- "Booklist" Review Quote These Know Your Numbers titles are a pleasant departure from the cartoonish artwork and uninspiring design exhibited by many picture books in series.
