About the author

Margaret McNamara is the Christopher Award–winning author of more than two dozen books for young readers, including the Robin Hill School series. The Fairy Bell Sisters series is inspired not only by her love of the classic sisterhood novel Little Women but by her own experiences growing up with older sisters (and a baby brother). Margaret and her family live in New York City, but they spend part of their summer on an island in Maine very much like Sheepskerry Island.

How fast can you count? This book is about a class that tries to race and count from one to ten as fast as they can. They work together to try and win the race. This book would be good to do a lesson on numbers and counting and then even try and do a counting race with the class.

This book was short and sweet. I would read this book to encourage students to learn their numbers (1-10).
