How Many Sharks in the Bath?

by Bill Gillham, Christyan Fox (Illustrations)

How Many Sharks in the Bath? takes a fresh approach to teaching numbers, reflecting the very latest in educational research. Packed with fun activities and clear, lively, colorful illustrations, this book is the perfect way to help children truly understand quantities rather than just reciting numbers in order, and to recognize the spelling of each number. Youngsters get to count how many penguins are in the shower, how many ostriches are in a bed, and much more.

My five-year-old son picked this book out from our local library last week.

If you ever want to know some of the differences between the English language spoken by the English and the English language spoken by Americans, check out this book. It wasn't hard to work out the differences, but generally I just translated from one to the other as I read the book so my little boy wouldn't be confused.

The concept of this book is great. I thought my son might get annoyed when the answer was 'none', but he thought that was funny.

This number book allows students to point and count the animals on the pages as well as match it with the actual number. Students are allowed to see the numerical and spelling of how many animals they count. I would use this book to teach comprehension as well as the spelling of numbers for beginning learners.
