Counting in the Garden

Counting in the Garden is a lovely counting book incorporating the beauty of nature into mathematics. The watercolor illustrations are fanciful stemming from the author's/illustrator's background as a textile designer. Children will benefit from the higher level vocabulary included in the short sentences for example, "three dogs frolicking in the posies."
