Evaluation: I would recommend this book for children. It was the first children's book with an African American child in it. Therefore, it has historical value as well.
My Very First Book of Numbers
This is a good board book for teaching children their numbers. Eric Carle has some of the best drawling! Children can count the number of pieces of fruit at the bottom of the page that matches the written number at the top of the page.

Evaluation: I would recommend the book because it is fun and interactive for children. The boxes to uncover the hidden trucks can be a little hard to move, but it can help with fine motor skills.
I love The Snowy Day book! Ezra Jack Keats is very admirable for his inclusion of African Americans into children's books.
ReplyDeleteThe snowy day has beautiful colors/ illustrations from what i can see on the title page. I'd love to see what the rest of the pictures look like.
ReplyDeleteI like the nice, clean format you have for your blog. It is easy to read and the books are nicely separated from one another while at the same time grouped by genre. The Eric Carle book looks like a great beginning informational text for number sense and math.
