Reach for this book when your child has mastered basic counting and is starting to show a deep, obsessive curiosity about how the world is organized into bigger groups. While many number books stop at ten, John J. Reiss takes children on a visual journey all the way to one thousand, helping them transition from simple recognition to true mathematical wonder. It is a perfect choice for the preschooler who is beginning to feel like a 'big kid' and wants to tackle more complex concepts with confidence. The book utilizes bold, high-contrast graphics to illustrate everything from a single red apple to a swarm of one thousand raindrops. By grounding abstract numbers in vibrant, recognizable objects like flowers, ladybugs, and candies, it builds a child's vocabulary while fostering a sense of pride in their growing intellectual abilities. It is an enduring classic that transforms a standard learning exercise into a feast for the eyes, making it an ideal bridge between early toddlerhood and the school-age years.
