Why read it?

1 author picked Ten Delicious Teachers as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love this book because it involves delicious rhymes, bewildered teachers and backward counting. It’s ideal for children who are learning to count up to and backward from ten. An example of the rhyming pattern: 

‘Six delicious teachers, stalking through the grass, 

Singing songs and waving sticks and marching extra fast.’

The illustrations of the monsters and teachers are as comedic as the story; it’s a great romp of an adventure with a satisfying twist to finish.

From Sarah's list on help you to fall in love with maths.
