There are things galore to count here, from bunnies to bumblebees. The more readers look, the more they will find. And when they are ready, there are sets of objects and numbers to add. Learning math has never been such fun!

About the author
Rick Walton
110 books50 followersBorn and raised in Utah, Walton is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Mormon Church. He served as a missionary to Brazil from 1976 to 1978, soon after he graduated from high school. Later, at Brigham Young University, he became president of the Brazil Club. In 1980, he graduated from Brigham Young with a bachelor's degree in Spanish and a minor in Portuguese, the language spoken in Brazil.
Walton's education continued after he obtained his degree. In 1980, he went back to Brigham Young for one semester of graduate work in business, but chose not to follow that career path. Deciding to become a teacher, he earned certification in elementary education from Brigham Young in 1987, as well as certification to teach gifted and talented students. Up to that point, he had held a number of jobs, including a year with the parks and recreation department of Provo, Utah. In 1987, he began teaching sixth grade at a local public school, then switched to a private school.
Also interested in computers, Walton would later publish several items of software. He left teaching to accept a position as software designer for IBM in 1989. In 1994, he turned to freelance software design and writing. He also returned to Brigham Young University once again, this time to earn his master's degree in English, with an emphasis on creative writing.
Walton's wife, Ann, with whom he has written many of his books, is a computer programmer. They were married in 1983, and have five children. With Dumb Clucks! and Something's Fishy! in 1987, the Waltons began writing books.

What a fun, first book about adding. I love how the rhyming is so strong that you can pause before the last word on each page and see if your children can finish the sentence.
Talking points - Who are the 10 people you love best? What are 10 of your favorite activities? Could you write a book about subtraction?
Essential Oil Pairing Tip - I'd diffuse Tangerine essential oil or if you don't have that I'd diffuse doTERRA's Citrus Bliss. Those scents take us back to the fun and friend filled days of childhood.

This is a adorable simple counting and addition book for toddler and up.
We had a copy of this as a board book and loved it but lost track of our copy. It took me quite a while to track down the title so I could borrow it from the library, and the hardcover is even more fun to look at because they are close up and larger. My five year old enjoyed it and enjoyed being prompted with "one more bunny... how much is 8 plus 1" etc.
In this story, first we see one young bunny (in old-fashioned clothes) in a woodland playground, and read a short rhyme about their activity; then "Here comes one more bunny!" With each additional bunny, the larger group plays a new activity. The text is supplemented with math equations: 3+1=4; 2+2=4 etc. and on the page, non-bunny elements are arranged to show those math problems (there's a key at the back with 'can you spot these groups'). The last bunny to arrive, number 10 (as my five year old easily predicted it would be) is also the Mother bunny, and they all go home.
In bright rich colors and great variety, the bunny illustrations call to mind the phrases "lavishly illustrated," "color saturated," and of course, fun. I wanted to jump into the pictures and frolic on that playground, and so did my son. The bunnies are quite cute; I expect that there are elementary-school boys who would object to them on that basis but my son liked them.
I'd use it when introducing addition concepts to older preschool and K-2 students, and as a counting book with younger ones.

Sweet and charming counting book with country scenes of bunnies playing together. It reads with rhythm and the text shows how many bunnies have joined the group in a bunny mathmatical equation (picture of bunny + picture of bunny = 2). This would be good for a one on one reading session and would help in number recognition. For pre-k and K.
From SLJ:
"A rhyming counting book that follows a group of brightly clothed bunnies frolicking on a playground on an idyllic spring day. Flowers are blooming; the sun is shining; the grass is green; and sweet little rabbits slide, swing, jump rope, play ball, dig in sand, etc. Each two-page spread adds another animal until there are 10. The numbers are written as addition equations (3+3=6, 4+2=6, 5+1=6) as well as single numerals. While young children will not be able to solve the problems, they will see that numbers can be depicted in different ways."

I was not particularly impresses with this book. The one at my library was not a board book, but I just didn't feel like it was useful for elementary aged students. Maybe it would be beneficial to have in the class library for students to look at on their own during free reading time or to have on hand for students performing below grade level in math. It does have some good rhyming language. I don't see it as a useful tool during active instruction though.

Use for simple addition.
Use for Spring/Easter theme.
Love the illustrations. Would be great to use in grades k-1. Each page has an addition problem that is created with both a picture and a number sentence. The book is also an easy read. I used this book for an introduction to addition during the spring. The children enjoyed the book and it was a great way to introduce manipulatives.

This book has colorful pictures of bunnies. This book makes addition fun by making students read "Here comes on more bunny." At the end of the book it offers several things beside bunnies to count and add in the book.

A very fun counting and adding book.

This book is a good representation of an addition problem for kids to see. It has cute illustrations. A fun song could be made up with it to sing along with it.

October 20, 2010For budding math lovers, this is a must read! Very fun and there are even more addition problems with corresponding "find the objects" on the back page. Much fun!

Great book for counting. I like the visuals. My 3 year old enjoyed it. I've got to remember to use this with my youngest.

This is a sweet way to introduce counting to young ones! It grows with them - counting AND adding to 10. LOVED it!

Maybe we will appreciate this book amore when Henry gets a bit older. Currently it's not holding anyone's interest.
