Loving numbers is as easy as 1, 2, 3! "A winner for bedtimes or storytimes focusing on counting." — School Library Journal "The joys of counting combine with pretty art and homage to Goodnight Moon." — Kirkus From School Library Journal Toddler-PreS—This clever picture book celebrates bedtime and math. A diverse group of toddlers and adults are counting their way to bed in different rooms of the house. Each spread introduces a number as a child bids familiar objects good night. For example, for the number three, the text states, "Goodnight three wheels./Goodnight, three cans./Goodnight, all trucks/and pots and pans." The watercolor and digital illustrations elevate this title above most concept books by providing multiple examples of the number in question. For instance, for the number six, there are six snaps on the child's pajamas, six dots on the lampshade, and six blocks. Detail-oriented readers will love poring over these small nuances and counting everything on the various pages. VERDICT A winner for bedtimes or storytimes focusing on counting.
