Mr. Bunny tries to count all their children, but they keep moving and he loses count. Finally, he manages to get them all to sleep after a busy day — and that’s when he can count them.

Sophia enjoyed this book and laughed at the idea of Daddy rabbit not knowing how many children he has!

I invited the group to say with me, "one, two, three, OOPS" each time father bunny attempts to count his many children. Each time he looses count he utters rhyming made-up words such as "noggin-sploggin", "Boodle-doodle", "grizzly-wizzly", "sniffy-whiffy", "jingle-bingle", "fuddle-duddle", or "jungle-bungle". The little ones LOVE the "oops" word and some giggle irresistably every time it's said.

One, Two, Three, Oops is a great childrens book that is funny. It is another children's book that scaffolds repeating number's over and over so the children can remember and after a while be able to count the bunnies. You could ask the children questions about what they think happens next, when the papa bunny cant count his baby bunnies. He finally gets them all counted when they all fall asleep until he is greated with another surprise!

I liked that this book scaffolds repeating number's over and over so the children can remember and after a while be able to count the bunnies. It is a great way to keep children entertained and interactive with the book, and can get just as excited when the father rabbitt has counted all his baby bunnies.

Great book for learning counting for preschoolers but they won't know they're learning to count because it's a cute story about a daddy bunny trying to count his little ones ;)
