Reviewed by Conner Aguren (age 3) and Mom for Reader Reviews (12/07) By looking at nature, we can learn to count our numbers, add, subtract, multiply and even divide. "Numbers" is a photographic counting of things we find in nature and the math we can learn from it. "I love puppy dogs!" "I love the bunny rabbits!" "I don't like those guys [flamingos]. Every time I go there, they peck me on the head." "I don't like ants. They are bad for the garden." "But I like babies. I like giraffes and Zebras!" "Carrots! Yuck!" "Great counting with math" "Mommy, I got to show you this page. See the bugs." Parent's Comment: The photographs in "Numbers" are stunning and easily convey the number being discussed. I was pleasantly surprised when the book was more than a count from 1 to 12, but also introduced concepts as counting by 10, 100, even and odd, lesser than/greater than, and basic math functions. My son enjoyed counting on each page, even when the number seemed too big (like 1000). The use of objects that he knows or sees often in pictures is really helpful in relating math concepts to my three and half year old.
