There are quite a few books that say they will teach pre-K kids numbers. This one works. The author starts her book with a good introduction for parents explaining how the book works. She tells us how books can be more entertaining for children than toys, how they can stimulate learning, and create an interaction between the child and parent. She arranges her lessons like a game. She advises parents to spend about 20 to 30 minutes with the child using the book just before bedtime.The book is divided into four parts, each appropriate for a specific age and stage of development. Level one is for babies up to age one. It teaches the child to imitate the sound of the numbers and their names. Level two is for children up to age 3 the child searches for the number. Level three goes beyond this; the child is shown a number and asked to name it. In level four, which is still pre-teen, the child is asked to tell how many objects are in the picture.
