I've been looking for new books I can use for preschool lessons, and this one fits perfectly. One of my preschoolers could barely wait for me to turn the page to see the next group of animals. I let one of the school-age children read for practice, the preschooler pointed and counted, and I made animal noises. Everyone enjoyed the book.What really helped was the fact that the numbers aren't counting random things like buttons, stuffed toys, and buildings. There is one central character that with one type of thing to be counted - animals. That makes it simpler to work with lesson themes. Since we enjoy petting zoos and visiting farms in the spring to see baby animals, I can use this book to show the type of animals we might see while practicing our counting. The colors chosen were a great touch.
