Going Up! A Color Counting Book

Reach for this book when your child is in that delightful phase of wanting to press every elevator button or when they are struggling with the slow build of anticipation for a special event. Peter Sis uses a simple vertical journey to turn the basic concepts of counting and color identification into a shared mystery that rewards a child's patience and observational skills. As the elevator rises from floor to floor, a colorful cast of characters enters, each carrying a different colored item. The book excels at teaching the social etiquette of shared spaces while building a sense of community. It is a gentle, joyful read for toddlers and preschoolers that transforms a mundane daily machine into a magical vessel for surprise and friendship.
