I finally found a book that counts out each diget from 1 to 100. Not only is each diget counted out, but each diget has a corresponding group of items that equal that diget...like 12 neckties. I love how it goes through George's day. And there is a story line, too. It's the city's centennial anniversary. George is headed to the centennial fair. He decides that it is a good day to learn to count to 100. First he counts in the house, then outside, then in school while he is visiting Betsy. Lastly, he counts items at the centennial fair.It's easy to go through and just read it or to stop and count all the shoes or all the ducks. I notice that my children (2 and 4) seem to find a new item they are interested in every time we read it. They don't need to stop and count everything, but I find it excellent counting practice because inevitably there a few things each time they want to count plus, every time we read it, they are counting to 100 already anyway! Highly recommended!
This book was not what I thought but well wroth it.When my little one was learning to count to 100, I thought this book would be ideal. She is a huge fan of Curious George to teaching her to count with her buddy was what I wanted. When we got the book she was so excited I started to read. She counted the 1 bed and the pillows. The further along we got, the more confused she was. For example the 16 rubber ducks were easy to count but the 23 napkins were hard to see. Then again it got easy with the 26 pancakes.Instead of confusing my little one, I took a whole new approach with this book. I started to read this book to her like a typical picture book, As we get to each number, I have her read the numbers and I read the text. I use this as a form of number recognition.If you are looking for a way to help your little one learn to count independently I would not recommend this book. On the same note, this is a fun book that will help your little one recognize numbers.
This book has soooo much to see. You can read the counting centric story, or just go through and talk to your child about the pictures and what's going on. My 2 year old asks for this one about as much as all of his other books combined.
Santa Claus brought this for my 3-1/2 year-old son who loves Curious George and anything to do with numbers and counting. We have read it at least once every day, and it is one of his favorite Christmas presents. It is a bit long, so we do read it in two sittings at times, but that doesn't diminish his enthusiasm for reading it. My son will even take the book out on his own and count the items in it.
Love this book! Its super cute and educational. There is so much that you can do with this book. When the kids get tired of counting, we use it as a look and find book. One page has a map of the United States. I use that map to teach the kids about the states. Its a really nice book for fans of Curious George and for teaching. There is also a bag that has the letters of the alphabet in both capital and lowercase. I hope this helps!
I bought this for our 3yr old son who loves counting. This book is awesome because it not only helps him to count to 100 but for each corresponding number it has that many toys or whatever George is counting. It gives better perspective for how many 20, 50 or 100 actually is. He's not as into the actual storyline as he is into counting but he's only 3. Fast shipping, would recommend for similar age group.
I got this book to teach my toddler numbers to 100. I thought it was not well made, too confusing but my son loves it so ended up keeping it.It actually goes up to 100 and by the end you can count objects up to 100. Don't know why but was not what I expected.
This book is so much fun. My daughter has now learned to count but we still love going through the book. It is not a board book, so may not last if the child is really hard on books, but ours is holding on and has traveled all over the country on road trips with us.
