Why read it?
1 author picked Ten, Nine, Eight as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This classic book, in board book form or paperback, is spare of words with bold pictures. A red carpet and green walls are set against a child’s bright yellow gown. A tender story mixes in elementary math, offering the charm of counting backwards. Soothing for bedtime, it’s one of my favorite gifts for the very youngest.
From Jeannine's list on starring math, bugs and strong girls.
