Book post: Count!

Book cover from Macmillan
Fleming, D. (1992). Count! New York, NY: Henry Holt and Company.

This counting book counts from one to ten, and then by tens up to fifty. It represents each number with that number of animals, the Arabic numeral, the number in rectangles or marks, and spelled out. Count! could be used for children just learning to count, recognize numbers, or read, and I think new readers would like the various ways the numbers are represented. The cover art shows the number one animal: one gnu. I like that the colors are all bright and the animals are designed simply.
