Count With Me!, by Shirley Barber, illustrated by Shirley Barber, published by The Five Mile Press, date of publication: 1999.
The entire counting book is working with students on counting from one to ten. Each page has a different number and a page of pictures to go along with it. The author asks the reader to identify one snail, one kitten, and then asks the reader to identify one of anything else they can on the page. On the next page it asks the reader if they can find two zebras, and then asks them if they can find two of anything else amongst the pictures on the page. This routine continues throughout the entire book. This book really allows students to learn how to count from one to ten but also allows the students to see several visual representations of these numbers.
My first activity would be to have the students draw their own representations of these numbers, using pictures. The students will need to draw a picture to represent each of these different numbers and then share them with the class and show how they can count from one to ten and draw pictures for each number.
My second activity would be to have the students would be for the students to choose a number from one to ten and bring in a healthy food representation for these numbers. The students could bring in one apple or two oranges, etc. The students will be allowed to eat and share the food they bring and the teacher will have the student share what they brought and what number it represents. Then, the teacher will be able to lead into talking about healthy foods, etc.
The book could be a great way to connect to other subject areas, such as science or health. The teacher could talk about some of the animals in the drawings and talk about their habitats or just the animals in general. The teacher could also relate this book to health by having the students bring in healthy food representations of the numbers from one to ten.
This book would be a stimulus to artistic response because the students would be able to draw picture representations of each number from one to ten and share them with the class. This would also allow students to build their imagination by having them create their different pictures for each number.

Las ilustraciones en el libro son muy hermosas. Realmente hicieron contar el número de una experiencia divertida. También me gustó que había muchos grupos del mismo número en cada ilustración que se podía contar.

Este es un libro muy bueno. Extremadamente útil para ayudar a los jóvenes a lo largo de sus viajes de contar. Lindo e interactiva. =)

This is a great little counting book with cute illustrations. It allows the children to find things to count rather than naming all the objects.
