Concept Book
Let’s Count To 100!
Let’s Count to 100! comprises 11 bright panoramas, each featuring a delightful assortment of 100 different objects. Readers are invited to count the items and are also challenged to find specific details, such as a mouse with a red bow or a lone rabbit amid a giant flock of sheep. This book is packed with appealing images of children, fish, cats, moles and other cute critters — no two of which are alike — and readers will enjoy the many different moods and expressions on display.
Ones and Twos
This concept book explores numeracy, sorting, and pairing. Each brightly illustrated page invites children to identify familiar objects ranging from kites to socks, from one nest to the two birds sitting in it. Ones and Twos gives little toddlers and their caregivers much to discuss and to enjoy together, and it introduces an exciting new creative team.
People Around the World
With more than 70 chunky flaps to explore and engaging scenes of busy people from all over the world, this book is a wonderful first introduction to different cultures and places. From a bustling modern Asian city, to a rural African village, the color and glamour of India’s Bollywood and the green calm of a small European farm-the book’s playful scenes and engaging fact-filled text combine for hands-on learning. The changing details that appear under the flaps-like a Middle Eastern man charming a snake or a treasure hunter searching for a surprise on a hot Australian Beach-will fascinate even the most hard-to-please reader for hours.
City Numbers
Joanne Schwartz and Matt Beam have discovered numbers in many different forms all over the city. They are on houses and apartment buildings, on store windows and doors, on trucks and garbage bins, on sidewalks and parking spots. They are printed, spray-painted, molded in plastic, chiseled in stone, stamped on vinyl, even torched into metal. We see these numbers, often unconsciously, every day, but the wonderful photographs in this book prompt us to look at them more closely, becoming aware and alive to the art, serendipity and variety that surround us.
Count Your Way Through Russia (Count Your Way)
Presents the numbers one through ten in Russian, using each number to introduce concepts about the Soviet Union and Russian culture.
Emeka’s Gift
This is a concept book to teach and delight. As a young African boy travels to visit his grandmother, he passes through the village market, where he sees lots of things Granny would like — four brooms, five hats, six necklaces, seven musical instruments, and so on. Stunning photographs taken in Emeka’s southern Nigerian village illustrate this heartwarming story.
One Sun Rises
The varied wild creatures of Africa introduce young readers to the world of numbers and counting, as well as to the diverse landscapes and wildlife of the African continent.
1, 2, 3
A cumulative counting tale in which one innocent inchworm precipitates busy activity among an increasing number of animals. Hidden in each picture is a numeral, disguised among the shapes of the natural world.
The Rain Train
All aboard! Take a train ride through a storm at night in a rhythmic readaloud chugging with sound words and full of striking illustrations. A pitter-pat-pat, a pitter-pat-pat, A pittery-pittery-pittery-pat. When it’s thundering down on the roof, in the lane, From the storm comes the call . . . “All aboard the Rain Train!” What child wouldn’t like to hop on a train, hand over his ticket, and set off on an exciting ride through a rainy night? Safe from the elements, a young boy listens and watches in his seat, in the dining car, and snug in his sleeper as his train whooshes past city lights, over rivers, through tunnels, and straight on to morning.
