Reach for this book when your preschooler or early elementary child is starting to take pride in their growing knowledge of the world and needs a confidence-boosting way to practice math. Rather than a dry counting book, this title functions as a series of playful 'riddles' that reward children for what they already know about stories, nature, and sports. As you read, your child will transition from simple counting to logic-based guessing. The book covers concepts ranging from the Three Little Pigs to the months in a year, fostering a sense of accomplishment as they correctly identify the 'how many' in each scenario. It is a wonderful tool for bridging the gap between imaginative play and concrete mathematical thinking, making it perfect for a 'big kid' who loves to show off their smarts.
