Ten Friends

By Bruce Goldstone

Book Overview

A riotous counting book that ends in a grand tea party for 100 friends. "If you could ask 10 friends to tea, ""tell me who those friends would be." You might invite 9 bears and 1 forest ranger. Or perhaps you'd choose 4 divers, 3 chauffeurs, and 3 drivers. Whichever group of friends you count, you'll still wind up with 10. But what happens if all of your friends come? Put all the groups together and they add up to a whole lot more than 10--there are 100 friends coming for tea Rollicking rhymes and cheerful pictures create a delightful introduction to simple addition concepts.

Customer Reviews

A Perfect 10

Our young daughters both love Ten Friends! As parents trying to expose them to basic math concepts w/out scaring them, we found this book very, very helpful. The clear, compelling copy moves right along. The beautiful illustrations hold the attention of young readers. In short, Ten Friends has it all. If you have friends w/young children, this would make a great gift.

Love this book!

Don't listen to anyone who is not a big fan of this book. It has everything a children's book should have--good writing, fun illustrations, and a clever concept. Trust me, your kids will love it. Mine do.

Great counting book

If you are looking for a counting book for your little mathematician, this is it. Ten Friends makes numbers fun! My son can't get enough of it.

A charming counting book!

My two-year-old son adores this wonderful book. The rhymes are clever, and the counting is so much fun. It would be even better for older children who are starting to learn how to add and subtract. I would recommend this book to anyone! Beastly Feast, Bruce Goldstone's previous book, is equally wonderful. Signed,A literary mom
