Best Counting Book Ever

 By Richard Scarry

(Apologies for the glare over "best" in the picture)

This really IS the best counting book ever.  So many pages of counting... all the way to 100!
 There's a great story from 1 to 10 about the cat family and the pig-firefighters.  Mama cat catches a watermelon!  My daughter is constantly talking about that part of the book at all times of the day.
 Beyond the story at the beginning, there are so many other cute critters to count organized by colour, clothing, activity, vehicle and more.  The animals are organized in groups of 5 or 10, so that you can count multiples.  Brilliant.
At the beginning and end of the book, there are some common equations that you can check out with your child.

This is a long book with many, many pages of counting.  My daughter will sit and flip through the whole thing with delight, even while angrily insisting that there are no numbers after 20.
