Early readers and counters can find encouragement galore in this friendly, happy book about sparrows who sing.
These softly drawn animals think just like humans. What a coincidence!
The Singing Sparrows make perfect counting company. The gentle text helps readers to feel familiar with mathematical terms and and gain useful concepts that help with counting.
Addition and subtraction both!
Here's a sample:
Sparrows flock and friend.
Sparrows like to take baths with friends. They
smooth their feathers when they're done.
Three more sparrows leave the bush.
FIVE STARS in honor of all those frolicksome children. (Ahem, I mean, frolicksome sparrows.)
