The perfect counting book for unusually bright, gifted, or numerically inclined children

Written by professional educators Steven L. Layne and Deborah Dover Layne, Number 1 Teacher: A School Counting Book is more than just a counting picturebook. Each number (1-20 followed by 30, 40, 50... up to 100) is accompanied by a simple rhyming verse for read-aloud fun, and a much more in-depth passage about that number's use in math or education. For example, part of the entry for the number 90 reads "An angle is a wedge-shaped piece formed between two crossing lines. In math class students measure angles with a tool called a protractor which is marked off in a measure called degrees. Angles that make square corners and measure 90 degrees are called right angles." The perfect counting book for unusually bright, gifted, or numerically inclined children, Number 1 Teacher is highly recommended.
